Lew Griffin, now fifty years old, has abandoned his former career as a New Orleans private investigator for the safety of teaching. But his old life draws him back. One of the very few lights from Lew Griffin's dark and violent past has flickered out. His one-time lover, LaVerne Adams, is dead-and her daughter, Alouette, has vanished into a seamy, dead-end world of users and abusers, leaving behind a critically fragile premature infant daughter. Griffin is determined to keep his distance from the dangers of the New Orleans night. But his inescapable obligation to an old friend keeps bringing him back like a moth to a flame.
James Sallis (1944–2026) was the author of eighteen other novels, including Drive, which was made into a now-iconic film, as well as the short story collection Bright Segments. He received the Hammett Prize for literary excellence in crime fiction, the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière, the Deutsche Krimipreis, and the Brigada 21 in Spain. His biography of Chester Himes was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, and was shortlisted for the Anthony, Nebula, Edgar, Shamus, and Gold Dagger Awards.
