But Glory’s daughter, still reeling from problems of her own, insists on her involvement. Glory’s search for the murderer takes her deep inside the seedy world of Louisiana casinos and racetracks, from their high roller VIP rooms with chatty dealers to stables filled with thoroughbred horses and shady dealings.As if solving a murder and sparring with the woman who had an affair with her ex-husband isn’t enough, Glory has to get to the bottom of her daughter’s secrets, and there are a few members of her church group who would love to see her fail in her Mardi Gras responsibilities. Walloped with one revelation after another, Glory’s no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is attitude and strength is tested like never before. But it’s going to take more than that to keep her down in this charming and gripping new novel in the award-winning and critically acclaimed Glory Broussard mystery series.

    Kade's search for justice meets the storm of the century. Snowed in at a campground in the isolated community of Three Rivers, he's no longer a wanted man just another trapped tourist. He does his best to help. Tries to fit in. Even finds a welcome place to rest his head. 
     
     
     
    But he's not the only stranger in town. Along the dangerous road known as Mineral King lies a fortress-like hacienda. A recent purchase by a man tied inextricably to Kade's past. A ruthless cartel warlord who's got a plan to take over the unincorporated town and turn it into his personal fiefdom. 
     
     
     
    Stopping him could very well be the thing that ends the FBI career Kade's fought so hard to restore. And his life. 
     
     
     
    In the mountains, another storm is brewing. A fight to see who will be named King. But they'll have to go through Kade first.
