When Lloyd Ballou headed for New Orleans, there was little to leave behind from the crumbled remains of the ordinary life he used to live. First went his Kansas City police badge, then his wife and their house, and finally the well-planned future that he thought he had earned.He started the trip after learning that his father had died, even though he felt nothing but loathing for a man who had abandoned his family decades before. But still Lloyd hoped there might be at least a little money or properties to claim, and perhaps he might even be able to finally improve the suffering of his family's pathetic, broken lives.Lloyd thought he knew how rough and tumble a town like New Orleans could be on its dark side, and figured he was ready to face whatever came his way. But he was hardly ready for what seemed to slam him around every corner, and all the life's changes and challenges waiting for him in The Big Easy.
"The bloody Civil War has ended at last, and Marshal Ridge Parkman is looking forward to visiting his family at last in exhausted, war-torn western Missouri. But no sooner has he settled in to relax and catch up on things, than whimsical fate drops a mission in front of him that he can hardly ignore. The next thing he knows, he's on a steamboat heading down the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. His assignment is to track a father-son team who are fleeing with a satchel of stolen money, and who seem to enjoy leaving behind the corpses of murdered women wherever they go. It isn't until Parkman catches up to his prey in the raucous river city of Natchez that he realizes that he's not simply taking on the father and son. Instead, he faces an entrenched and well-run criminal enterprise that controls the more wicked and wide-open part of the city, known for decades as "Natchez Under the Hill.""-"--
