New Orleans keeps everything.The secrets. The dead. The debts. The names people try to forget. This city is built on water and on lies – and sometimes it’s impossible to tell which one keeps it alive.Gabriel is not his real name. His real name belongs to a ten-year-old boy who chased fireflies in the bayou before the world decided to turn him into something else. That boy no longer exists. But what was taken from him – that still exists.When Gabriel slips an envelope under the door of Renaud Sellers, a man whose crimes were erased by overpaid lawyers, he expects a warning to be enough. Instead he triggers something he never saw coming – a network thirty years in the making, a powerful man who makes problems disappear, and a truth buried under a bayou shed floor that his mother died to protect.Between the city and the swamp. Between the light and the dark. Between justice and something far more personal.Gabriel has a code. But some truths change the rules.The Angel of the Bayous is the first volume of a gripping trilogy set in the shadows of Louisiana.
