In the steamy underworld of New Orleans, mystery culminates where law and desire interact. Micky takes on the case of the daughter of a friend, who is believed to be sexually abused, not knowing that the investigation will lead her on a dangerous sexual odyssey. While doing battle with seedy thugs and struggling to hold on to her rocky relationship with Dr. Cordelia James, Micky travels between the uptown opulence of the Sans Parel Club, one of New Orleans's exclusive private clubs, and a tawdry hole of a bar near the Desire Projects.

In this long-awaited reprint, Micky Knight had a pleasant evening to look forward to; she was running security at a party of beautiful lesbians and gay men. But a dead body ruins the affair. When more dead women are found, the police target Dr. Cordelia James as the killer - the same Cordelia who broke Micky's heart. As Micky works to expose the killer she tries to keep her heart hidden.

Privatdetektivin Michele Knight - 'den Mississippi kann ich durch mein Badezimmerfenster sehen, wenn ich mich aufs Klo stelle' - hat Ebbe in der Kasse. Guter Zeitpunkt für eine neue, geschmackvoll verpackte Klientin, die ihr allerdings Schande einbrockt. Aber dass 'Micky' sich mit der halben Südstaatenmafia anlegt, liegt wohl mehr an ihrer tollkühnen Mentalität.
