The Bayou Girl: A Shadow Comes Home
Some monsters hunt for greed and power. Others hunt those monsters.
After the events in Savannah, Estelle Barré returns to her beloved New Orleans determined to protect the city that once gave her life. But the city she left behind has already found a new master.
A ruthless international cartel has tightened its grip on the city, trafficking women, flooding the streets with drugs, and murdering anyone who stands in its way. As fear spreads again through New Orleans, an unlikely alliance begins to form. A battered young woman rescued from the streets. A veteran detective searching for justice. An aging voodoo priestess who senses ancient forces stirring once again. Together, they stand beside a vampire unlike any the world has ever known.
While Estelle wages her own private war against evil, Bedelia Dubois continues her work from Savannah, gathering extraordinary allies as the shadows across America grow darker. Unknown to either woman, powerful supernatural forces are beginning to move, and ancient beings are watching from beyond human understanding.
As organized crime, corruption, and supernatural horror collide, the battle for New Orleans becomes more than a fight for one city. It becomes the opening move in a war that could reshape the balance between darkness and humanity forever.
Filled with unforgettable characters, breathtaking action, moments of surprising humor, and genuine heart, The Bayou Girl: A Shadow Comes Home continues Stephen Sulkey's epic supernatural saga where monsters exist—but so do heroes willing to become monsters to stop them.
Sometimes the only thing more terrifying than a vampire... is the evil she has come to destroy.
