It's Christmas time in New Orleans and the richest man in the city, Cyril Jessup, receives a visit from a stranger claiming to be his previously unknown grandson, the issue of a one-night stand between Jessup's late son, a soldier on his way to Viet Nam and a Bourbon Street stripper. Is he an imposter? Jessup calls in Margo Fortier, ex-stripper turned society columnist to investigate. Tony Fennelly's first novel, The Glory Hole Murders, was nominated for an Edgar. Since then, her mysteries have been published in German, Japanese, Danish, Czech and Korean editions, in the US, Europe and Asia.
