Critiques en avant-première

Gritty, vivid, Southern suspense set in the high society and the dark underbelly of Memphis. In the tradition of James Lee Burke. Debut author Lisa Turner pens a taut yet lyrical story. Power. Passion. Mystery. Memphis. Is a killer stalking women in the steamy darkness of the River City's August nights? Or could the threat be something more personal? One of Memphis’s most seductive and notorious socialites has disappeared. Maybe it’s just another of her drunken escapades. But maybe not. What begins as an ordinary day’s work for Detective Billy Able in the land of Elvis, the Blues, and the Mississippi Delta, quickly escalates into a high-level web of tragedy, suspicion, corruption and sordid secrets, including a few of Billy’s own. Mercy Snow believes all the evidence points to sinister forces at work in her sister’s fate. But her flighty mother is no help, as usual, and Memphis Judge Buck Overton—who’s all too eager to marry Mother’s inheritance—will stop at nothing to protect his plans. Can Mercy and Billy overcome the dark workings of a Southern crime dynasty?
