Produktbeschreibung
When Jack Edney is assaulted and hospitalized in Priouxville on the banks of Ghost Bayou near Bayou Teche in Louisiana, Tony Boudreaux forgoes his long-anticipated vacation to aid his best friend. He is surprised to learn that Jack's assailants were searching for hidden diamonds, but the jewels turn out to be the least of his worries. In his efforts to uncover who attacked Jack, Tony stumbles onto three murders the locals attributed to the mythical loup garou, a shape-changing creature roaming the swamps. The deeper he delves into the mystery of the diamonds, the more he becomes a target himself. His hunt for the stolen gems and those responsible for Jack's assault take him into the chilling eighteenth-century culture of backwater swamps, the unholy mysteries of New Orleans, and the furtive backroom schemes of local politics. As if he didn't have his hands full already, he is forced to take his ex-wife, Diane, who is married to Jack, under his wing for her own safety.
Autorenporträt
Kent Conwell grew up in the wide-open Texas Panhandle in the town of Wheeler, population 848. His love of the West came naturally for his grandfather had run away from his Tennessee home when he was 14 to bullwhack his way to the Panhandle where he later met his future wife who had traveled from Illinois to Texas in a covered wagon. After moving to Fort Worth where Kent was more at home at the stockyards than school, he earned a B.S. and began teaching. Later, he moved to Port Neches where he acquired a M.Ed. and Ph.D. A successful educator, his love for writing about the West has never waned for that was the one period unique to American History. He has won awards for short stories, screenplays, mysteries, and westerns.
