Format: Hardcover with Dust Jacket

Published by St. Martin's Minotaur, 2000

Martin Hegwood's first novel was a big southern hit. Critics and fans alike fell for his atmospheric, visual writing and compelling PI, Jack Delmas. Like all Bayou bred men, Jack enjoys a good pint of Dixie beer -- and a little bit of danger. This time out, Jack finds himself caught in the midst of a deadly struggle for control of Biloxi's waterfront.Jack Delmas and an old friend, Jasper Perinovich, return from a fishing trip one evening when disaster strikes. After the two part, Jasper, a lifelong Point Cadet, Mississippi, resident and a vocal opponent to the casino development encroaching on this Gulf Coast town, gets home, flips on his light switch, and his house explodes around him. The value of Jasper's land, it seems, was worth killing over. With a group of suspects that includes a band of local hooligans and Jasper's money-hungry niece, Delmas has his work cut out for him.
