Angela Hawkins Crow loves New Orleans. It’s one of her favorite cities in the country.

But as Halloween approaches, she and Jackson find themselves there to help with a case; Dante Harrison, Adam Harrison’s nephew, has asked for help.

The city is always heavily decorated when Halloween approaches. But this year, some of the spooky decorations are not being purchased from stores.

They’re proving to be human remains.

In the midst of Halloween goblins and ghouls, masks and killers, they must discover the identity of a real killer.

Not a vampire, a ghost, a movie creature, mummy, or other. Just a monster who is very human indeed.
