A sniper appears in 1960s New Orleans, a sun-baked city of Black Panthers and other 
separatists. Five people have been fatally shot. When the sixth victim is killed, 
Lew Griffin is standing beside her. He's black and she's white, and though they are 
virtual strangers, it is left to Griffin to avenge her death, or at least to try and
 make some sense of it. His unlikely allies include a crusading black journalist, a 
longtime supplier of mercenary arms and troops, and bail bondsman Frankie DeNoux. Yet
 it is the character of Lew Griffin that takes center stage, as in each of Sallis's 
highly praised books. He is by now, well on the way to becoming what he will be; violent
, kind, contradictory, alcoholic. Both naïve and wise, he is a man cursed by unspeakable 
demons. Nonetheless, he is seemingly encircled by redemptive angels, awaiting an opening.
