But she didn't realize a killer was lurking in the shadows, waiting to frame her for their deed... This is a gritty tale of crime and mystery that will thrust you into the captivating allure of the Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans, home to black magic and voodoo, and where the hunter becomes the hunted after midnight strikes.
