About This Book
When his cousin Verle is accused of murder, private investigator Michel Doucette heads to the small town of Bayou Proche to help prove Verle's innocence. In the process, he uncovers a blackmail plot against one of Verle's closest friends, and an apparent conspiracy to gain control of the mineral rights to Verle's land in the Atchafalaya Basin. He is also forced to finally confront painful memories from his own childhood. "Blue's Bayou" is the fourth novel featuring detectives Michel Doucette and Sassy Jones. The second, "Echoes," won the 2010 Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Mystery.
