"Peter Brady once was a Pulitzer Price winning crime reporter for the New Orleans Times-Picayune. He wrote an investigative series that won the Pulitzer, cost his informant his life and almost cost Peter his own in the farm of alcohol. In an act of desperation, he resigned his job in New Orleans, bought the Troy Parish Weekly Express in the town of Troy and flees to Northern Louisiana. He hopes to escape his demons. Putting away the bottle permanently is almost impossible as many of us know daily. Putting away the nightmare of seeing his informant floating dead in a swamp outside of New Orleans isn't any easier. It doesn't help when citizens of the small town begin dying. As publisher, editor and just about everything else, the pressure is on Peter Brady to keep the struggling paper alive long enough that he can start turning things around. That job gets harder fast when Frieda MacBride, the politically connected society columnist is found dead at the local church graveyard. Hated by nearly everyone, she knew far too much about far too many people to make the suspect list short. Her death creates a ripple effect that sends out shock waves that touch people in many different ways and has links deep into the past." --- Kevin Tipple VINE VOICE . First Edition. Hard Cover.
