"THE BLURB"
Between the cemetery and bayou, two families have lived on the same cul-de-sac for over a century—but it’s more than just a fence that divides the wealthy Roux estate from the modest Dubois property.
In the summer of 1988, all is quiet in Slidell, Louisiana. That is, until gallant teen Lance Dubois finds himself caught up with Edward Roux’s one and only daughter, Lauren. After a few passionate weeks, their humid nights together fade to a distant memory once Lance leaves town without warning. Fast-forward seventeen years. Lance and Lauren have inherited their fathers’ estates—and Hurricane Katrina is just hours away. What neither of them expects is the storm of the century to churn the muddy waters of their past, bringing family secrets to the surface that they’ll be forced to face. |

How far will science go when reputations are on the line?

"THE BLURB"
The University of New Orleans is a modest, tight-knit community of diligent academics. When the chair of the biology department is violently murdered, assistant forensic pathologist Hunter Romero has her own rather unique suspicions about the crime scene.
Hunter’s intuition is tested when evidence is leaked to a prominent national magazine, releasing privileged information that could hinder the investigation, putting her trust in those nearest to her on shaky ground. As professors scramble to keep the academy alive and well, more bodies begin to surface, sending the College of Sciences into a spiraling stupor. Lured by the developing evidence, the newbie pathologist launches an inquiry of her own into one of the department’s most renowned biologists—the interim chair’s newly tenured husband. Is Hunter’s background in entomology enough to outsmart a serial murderer, or is she merely being blinded by the familiar? And how far will science go when reputations are on the line?
