Fisher King Enterprises, 2009 - Fiction - 191 pages

Somebody is killing prostitutes in the swamp. To Sheriff Coles Bleu, the job was everything; never mind the formalities of protocol. By his rules, he always got the bad guys. His office achieved the highest crime-solving rate in Louisiana. Now, that record was being threatened. John Atkinson, who brought us the unforgettable Johnnyboy in his powerful debut novel Timekeeper (2007), returns with three, rough-cut, equally memorable characters in the first book to be published under Fisher King's new il piccolo imprint.
