The Governor of Louisiana is found dead one morning with lipstick smeared on his thigh. The regal First Lady strives to keep her composure as a young attorney delves into the muck of local politics, searching for answers. This novel travels through a corrupt and vibrant culture--to a brothel in the swamps, to Angola Prison, to a secluded mortuary and back to a dramatic funeral at the capitol--and lurking beneath the intrigue is the lasting damage caused by oil brokers, pumping their toxic poisons deep into the earth.
