In New Orleans where jazz bands play until the first light of dawn, murder doesn’t sleep either. The legend of Voodoo Lucy begins when twenty-eight-year-old Lucinda (Lucy) Jones leaves Tupelo, Mississippi and her alcoholic, abusive, father behind to start a new life in New Orleans. Having long gotten through life by running small-time cons, Lucy dreams up a profitable voodoo-laced scam that soon finds her running afoul of a criminal gang boss and his crew. When she dares to testify against a killer, Lucy’s life starts to spiral out of control. With friends on both sides of the law and a drug gang who wants her dead, can Lucy scheme her way out of danger and into the life she’s always dreamed of? Fans of Vito Zuppardo’s “True Blue Detective” series will enjoy this story, which takes readers back to Mario DeLuca’s rookie year on the beat and Zack Nelson in action as a NOLA PD homicide detective, as well as the early days of the infamous Cornerview Gang and the other unsavory characters that prowl the colorful, charming French Quarter.

What’s worse than murder and mayhem? Voodoo dolls and a heist for starters. Having successfully overcome the demons of her past, Lucy Jones is finally free to continue her life of intrigue in the heart of New Orleans’s historical French Quarter. Content to help the abused women of the city by offering them a safe haven at Burdette House, Lucy is all too willing to walk a fine line between doing what is legal and engaging in a bit of Voodoo to get her way; all for the good of the community, of course. In her heart, she is making progress for the better in her own strange way, but her alternate personality, Lucinda, often tries to bring her own type of rough justice. When an old flame returns asking for her help, Lucy finds that the tentative control she had over Lucinda is slipping. Torn between conflicting desires, she must find a way to tame her dark side or risk losing everything.
