From the author of "The Time It Snowed in Puerto Rico" comes a timely novel about the politics of exclusion, the terrible choices we face in wartime, and the redemptive power of love.
In the fall of 1926, a crime wave in Marshall's Bayou sparks talk of pirate ghosts. Police Chief Dassas Cormier knows the thieves are flesh and blood, but he isn't too worried until one of Marshall's Bayou's residents is found dead in his own home. Surprisingly, the thieves are indeed pirates—more or less—and they manage to capture Dassas. The leader of the band, Sid, carries a knife she doesn't hesitate use. Can Dassas survive captivity while piecing together the murder? And can he manage not to fall for the pack of vagabonds with hard-luck stories?
Dassas Cormier returns to Marshall's Bayou in the spring of 1924 to find that his old friend Red Doucet has been murdered. Grace, the only woman Dass has ever loved, is also back in Marshall's Bayou, and she wants him to look for her missing husband. He's surprised when his search leads to another murder. Are the two murders linked? More important, is Grace involved?
