In New Orleans, the dead don't always stay quiet.
Dr. Jill Quint, forensic pathologist and private investigator, gets a strange call from a colleague in the Crescent City. A young man lies on the autopsy table with no clear cause of death-and a grieving family claiming he was taken by evil spirits.
It's not Jill's usual kind of case. But when science runs into superstition, she can't help but dig deeper.
Joined by her partner Nathan-conveniently in town for business-Jill begins unraveling a mystery steeped in the dark corners of New Orleans. From the buzzing streets of the French Quarter to the haunted stillness of the Ninth Ward, every clue raises more questions. Was this a natural death? Or something far more sinister?
As they track the trail into legendary cemeteries and hidden city secrets, it becomes clear someone doesn't want the truth found. And they're willing to kill to keep it buried.
CRESCENT CITY MURDER is book eight in the Jill Quint, MD forensic mystery series-perfect for fans of smart sleuths, shadowy settings, and mysteries with a touch of the supernatural, or not.
