Part of Krewe of Hunters, book 20
First published 2016
Charlene "Charlie" Moreau returns to St. Francisville, Louisiana to work on a film production. She discovers the corpse of a Civil War reenactor one night, the second killing in just two days. Her father guides tours on the Journey, a historic paddle wheeler sponsoring the reenactment events, and police consider him a suspect in the murders. FBI agent Ethan Delaney joins the investigation as part of the Krewe of Hunters unit. Charlie and Ethan share a past connection from ten years ago when he saved her from a graveyard after a Confederate ghost led her there. To investigate the reenactors and uncover their secrets and motives, Charlie books a Mississippi River cruise aboard the Journey. As she and Ethan work together, they rekindle their old romance while pursuing the killer among the historical enthusiasts. Their rekindled relationship faces mortal danger as the murderer threatens their lives during the river voyage.
