Description

Councilwoman Bebe Fortier has misplaced her equally prominent husband. Across town, part-time detective-poet Talba Wallis has a simple wish–to find out what Russell Fortier s disappearance has to do with her. But the private investigator who hired Talba to spy on Fortier can t help her out. He s lying in his office with a bullet in his chest. At first, Police Detective Skip Langdon thinks it s just a small case with some big names–until she senses something huge starting to unfold. Something rooted in corruption, resulting in violence–and motivated by that old demon . . . desire.
