Clete Purcel is Dave Robicheaux's longtime friend and partner in detective work. When Clete finds his beloved Caddy ransacked by a group of thugs tied to the drug trade, it feels personal. Just as Clete starts to trail the culprits, Clara Bow, a woman with a dark past, hires Clete to investigate her scheming, slippery ex-husband. Clete is experiencing shockingly lifelike hallucinations and questioning Clara's motives when he and Dave start to hear rumors of a dangerous substance with potentially catastrophic effects. The thugs who destroyed his car might have been pawns in a scheme far darker than they could've imagined" --
