Second Line: A Nicki Jo Burkhart Novel (Nicki Jo Burkhart Series, Band 2) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In New Orleans, the people who love you sit with their backs to the wall so you can rest. Nicki Jo Burkhart is about to learn what that costs.

When the man who quietly guarded her diner for fifteen years is murdered in his own booth, Nicki follows his last clue down to New Orleans — a drowned, beautiful, rotten city where a 140-year-old crime family hides its money inside the things people love most: the old bars, the old cooks, the beloved krewes. They call it the Murder. And the smiling man who runs it never threatens you — he simply reads you back your own list, everyone you love by name, so you'll know he has it written down.

To end it, Nicki will have to pull the truth up out of the ground in one impossible night, spend the people standing between her and the dark, and learn the city's hardest lesson:grief and joy march the same street — the dirge out, and the dancing back.

Second Line is the second Nicki Jo Burkhart novel — a Southern spy-thriller with banter on top and real grief underneath.
