Snake Dance

SHE HAD A TALENT FOR DANCING ON THE EDGE OF DISASTER...
Sexy, savvy Laura Ireland was a West Coast beauty with a major in anthropology and volleyball—and a minor in murder. Her recent past was ancient history, but her future was anybody's guess.

...UNTIL SHE TANGOED WITH AN INHUMAN MURDERER
She's come to the steamy swamplands of Louisiana for the family reunion of her boyfriend, homicide cop Theophile Talbot. But the Talbots have the strangest history this side of the Atchafalaya... starting with the time, twelve years before, when Theo's baby brother perished in a gruesome mill accident ... on up to the present-day attempts on the life of Theo's daddy, the drunken owner of the Wildwood plantation. As for the other denizens of scenic Bayou Lafourche, their buried secrets might never see the light of day.

Only now, somebody lies dead in the middle of the road.

Theo's framed for murder.

And Laura is dancing as fast as she can around a slippery killer who could waltz her into an early grave....
