American Book Award-winning author Jewell Parker Rhodes crafts this atmospheric thriller, the third in her Voodoo trilogy after Voodoo Season and the "hypnotic" (Publishers Weekly) Yellow Moon. Working in the ER, Dr. Marie Lavant sees the darkest side of New Orleans. But the bloody wounds of patients are not the only things that haunt her. As the descendent of a legendary voodoo queen, Marie is cursed with the ability to communicate with spirits of the dead.
