Sinossi

Reverie turns deadly when a secret society of New Orleans elites is infiltrated by a killer in this classic 1930s mystery. 
 
For years New Orleans has been enthralled by the secret society dedicated to Dis, Greek god of Inferno, whose membership of fifty is closely guarded from the press and whose rites burlesque the proud tradition of the city’s Mardi Gras festival. Lovely Cynthia Fontenay gives Dis a ball each year, with all members in attendance behind satanic masks and sinister robes of black and scarlet. 
 
When murder strikes this charmed circle, a shadow is cast over the city. Homicide detective Captain Murphy once again enlists the help of Wade, a New Orleans journalist, to confront an investigation of fifty suspects. As their smoldering motives become front page news, the Crescent City awaits the finale of this chilling carnival of a case.

    "At the end of your quest, at such a time you think you have the answer, you must look under the last stone, which will be in the palm of your hand," the mysterious Sheikh told her. Brazilian journalist Stefania DiMaggio neither wants, desires, nor relishes her first assignment. A dead end worthless project on a subject she hates. Reluctantly, she teams up with the dashing Thomas Houghton, the Duke of Radcliffe, who is keenly interested in her project for his own purposes. They follow leads throughout Europe and back to Brazil. Slowly but surely the corpses start piling up behind them. The duo cheat death at each turn as Stefania resists her growing affection for Thomas. Their activities don't go unnoticed by Svetlana Greschenko of Russian intelligence, who follows their every move. But the answer to the riddle eludes Stefania, what did the Sheikh's cryptic words mean? As Stefania digs deeper, and collects the pieces to an unbelievable puzzle, she realizes she's stumbled onto perhaps the greatest secret of the twentieth century, a secret which the Vatican, the Russians, Thomas and his family desperately never want to see the light of day. Stefania puts pen to paper on the eve of a summit at the Vatican to resolve the war in the Ukraine. Does Stefania trade her blockbuster story for Thomas' heart, or does fate intervene?

    In the tranquil coastal town of Serenity, new beginnings often carry the weight of old secrets, and no one knows this better than Julia Reynolds. When Judge Julia Reynolds arrived in Serenity, she hoped to make a fresh start, but she could never have imagined the darkness she was about to uncover. With the haunting past lurking in every shadowed alley and the unwavering facade of picturesque Victorian homes, Serenity was far from the idyllic haven it appeared to be.

As Julia steps into her role as Serenity's new federal judge, she becomes obsessed with a cold case pertaining to the missing Claire Whitaker.

With every corner Julia turns, she uncovers evidence of a tangled web of corruption, manipulation, and deceit that threatens to engulf Serenity. Powerful figures, led by the enigmatic Marcus Webb and the cunning Mayor Ella Marconi, are willing to go to any lengths to protect their empire built on years of silence and fear. 
     
    The journey is fraught with danger and the ever-present specter of retaliation. Julia must navigate betrayals, threats, and the immensity of human fear. Yet, with every piece of evidence uncovered, every witness that steps forward, lights start to pierce through the cloak of Serenity's shadows. In a climactic showdown, the team confronts the town’s nefarious power players, turning the tide once and for all.
