In the city of New Orleans it is the corrupt who govern, and ex-cop Ray Shane is no stranger to those in charge. After five years in prison, he is finally free—and determined to stay out of trouble.
But it's tough to stay straight. The Marcella crime family runs the House of the Rising Sun, a strip bar that hides far more than it reveals, and Ray's job is to protect it. So when four gunmen rob the House and kill the mob boss's nephew, Ray—in the wrong place at the right time—takes the heat. Targeted by both mob goons and the law, he must slog through the city's gritty underbelly to clear his name. But the lies go far deeper than he imagines, and soon there will be nowhere to turn.
