Murder in the Garden District — Greg Herren

A leading candidate for the upcoming senatorial race and a scion of a Louisiana political dynasty is shot to death in his Garden District mansion, and the prime suspect is his much younger second wife with a checkered past. Detective Chanse MacLeod enters a world where nothing is as it seems, and uncovers the dark secrets of the state's first family -- secrets someone is willing to kill to keep.

Greg Herren is the author of four previous novels in the Chanse MacLeod series. He lives in New Orleans.
