Bayou Nights is a novel of vengeance, carried out in the terrifying environment of corrupt politics, social injustice, and the exotic eroticism of Voodoo. Set in the months prior to Hurricane Katrina, Claire Rivet, a Baton Rouge Assistant District Attorney, attempts to connect the rape and murder of a young woman to the similar attack on her when she was ten. She is certain the same person is responsible and she lives only to bring her attacker to justice. In the Louisiana bayou, her quest is dangerously compromised by Mamma Anna, a voodoo priestess who lures Claire into a dark Voodoo practice, magie noire, reserved for those willing to give up everything for revenge. When the lines between justice and revenge start to blur, Claire struggles to choose the right path, not knowing that Mamma Anna hasn’t left her one.

Marin County California, one of the wealthiest counties in the country, boasts home to The Belvedere Club, an exclusive woman’s club that makes Augusta National Golf Club look like a community center. High on a hill overlooking the majestic San Francisco Bay, Old World charm mingles with New World money while perfumed doyennes hide secrets and share tasty gossip. Tree-sitters need not apply. Haylee Macklin, journalist with Washington’s District Dispatch, interviews the club’s Chanel clad president and other society page matrons for a tell-all exposé. But Haylee turns up dead. Her dearest friend, Briana Kaleigh, photojournalist for the same daily, dashes across the country braving a snowstorm, a high-strung poodle, and the cultural divide to find the killer. When she uncovers an internet porno ring, she leads the police astray, almost closing the homicide investigation. First alienating the Buddhist sheriff working the case, Briana gradually wins him over. Together, they interview one of Marin’s most successful CEOs, an Alzheimer’s specialist with questionable treatments, and the club’s eccentric spinster president. A second murder, and a blind bag lady spouting clichés, launches the investigation into the rollicking world of transsexuals and cross-dressers.
