It is 1927 New Orleans and detective Damon Rourke has drawn a particularly touchy case. It seems that someone has crucified a priest with some fairly forward thinking views, and the list of suspects, both in and outside of the Church, is quite extensive. To add to this, Rourkes lady companion, a renowned actress, has been receiving some less-than-savory messages from a stalker. This is Rourkes second appearance, following MORTAL SINS.
