One of the very few lights from Lew Griffin's dark and violent past has flickered out. His one-time lover,La Verne Adams is dead - and her daughter,Alouette,has vanished into a seamy,dead-end world of users and abusers... leaving behind a crack-addicted infant and a mystery.
Abandoning his former career for the safe respectability of teaching,Lew Griffin now spends his time in an old house in the garden district - determined to keep his distance from the lowlife temptations of the New Orleans night. But an inescapable obligation to an old friend is drawing the tormented black ex-p.i. to danger like a moth to a flame. And there will be no turning back when his history comes calling and the dying begins again.

MEDIA REVIEWS
An intelligent,enigmatic book...engrossing and disturbingThere is danger,violence,suspense; there are characters so vivid as to be documentaries in miniature and milieus as perceived by all the senses...the reader has to hope the remarkable biography of Lew Griffin will continueAnother walk on Louisiana's wild side...even stronger than The Long-Legged Fly
