Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A riveting historical mystery set in an alternate 1900 where the South won the Civil War In the sultry summer of 1900, New Orleans Detective Jean-Baptiste Delacroix faces the most impossible case of his career-one that will force him to choose between his badge and his brother. When a Europ…ean merchant is found crucified on Andrew Jackson's statue in Jackson Square, Jean-Baptiste recognizes the elaborate staging as more than simple murder. The victim is arranged with disturbing precision, surrounded by Confederate currency and cryptic Latin phrases. As a Creole detective navigating the treacherous waters between Confederate authority and European commercial interests, Jean-Baptiste knows this killing could ignite the powder keg of tensions threatening to tear the city apart. But nothing prepares him for the truth he uncovers: his own brother Michel-once a devout Catholic seminarian-has become the instrument of a century-old vengeance. Venus, an ancient Vodoun priestess with memories stretching back to slavery, has waited nearly one hundred years to balance the scales of justice. The Delacroix family once promised freedom to her daughter, then sold her downriver to die in the cane fields. Now Venus has found the perfect weapon in Michel, transforming his grief over his wife's death into religious fanaticism, twisting Catholic devotion into justification for mass murder. As bodies multiply-each killing timed to a saint's feast day, each victim connected to New Orleans' web of corruption-Jean-Baptiste faces an agonizing choice. His investigation reveals that Michel plans to destroy St. Louis Cathedral during the city's grandest celebration, with hundreds of Confederate officials, European merchants, and innocent worshippers inside. To stop the attack, Jean-Baptiste must betray his brother. To save Michel, he must compromise everything his badge represents. Caught between the Sons of Divine Justice-Confederate extremists who have infiltrated the police department-and Venus's intricate conspiracy that manipulates all sides, Jean-Baptiste tampers with evidence, misdirecting investigations, and descends into the moral darkness he once fought against. His superiors demand results that serve political narratives. Federal investigators pursue their own ambitions. And Michel, the brother he loves, has become a stranger who speaks of divine judgment while preparing an act of terrorism. With St. Louis Day approaching and time running out, Jean-Baptiste must navigate New Orleans' shadowy world-from Marie-Claire Laveau's Botanica to Venus's bayou sanctuary, from the cathedral's ancient tunnels to the city's halls of power-searching for a way to save both his brother's soul and countless innocent lives. MURDER IN NEW ORLEANS is a richly atmospheric historical thriller that explores the impossible choices between duty and family, justice and mercy, in a city where the past never truly dies and vengeance can wait a century for the perfect moment to strike. Perfect for fans of alternate history, historical mysteries, and morally complex detective fiction set against the vivid backdrop of turn-of-the-century New Orleans-a city of saints and sinners, where three cultures collide and ancient grudges demand modern blood. Contains mature themes including violence, religious conflict, and historical references to slavery and racism. This item is printed on demand.
