From <New York Times< and <USA Today< bestselling author Karen Rose comes another explosive novel in the New Orleans series, where some secrets are worth dying for&mdash;or killing to keep.

<Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.<

Employed as the nighttime security guard of Broussard Private Investigations, Phineas Bishop has been working through overwhelming PTSD episodes from his Army service while still utilizing his military skills. But when a violent break-in occurs at the office, the accusatory eyes of the NOPD glance to Phin, and he resolves to track down the intruder and clear his name.

Phin&rsquo;s only lead and witness is Cora Winslow, a spirited librarian who also needs answers. Her father&rsquo;s body has been discovered under a recently demolished building, murdered twenty-three years ago. So, who has been sending her the handwritten letters&mdash;written and signed by him&mdash;every year since she was five? Someone wants to keep Cora in the dark. And now, they&rsquo;re coming for her.

As Cora&rsquo;s bodyguard, Phin is surprised by his fondness for the woman&rsquo;s fierce determination and research prowess. But New Orleans&rsquo;s Garden District holds secrets as old as the streets themselves. With help from the entire Broussard P.I. team, Phin and Cora enter a labyrinth of fraud and homicide that threatens to bury them all.
