In Acadia Parish, the bayou doesn’t hide bodies. It hides monsters. Small-town Louisiana. Big secrets. The river calls. The killer answers—like an instrument in its hands. When the lights flash, the bayou wakes up—and somebody always disappears. Author Gregory Mouton leads readers deep into Louisiana—into the backroads and black water, into parish politics, and into the traditions that still hold a town together when fear tries to tear it apart. From the rhythm of a working sheriff’s department to the pulse of festival season, you’ll feel the heat, the rain, the tight-knit culture, and the pride that runs through Crowley and Acadia Parish. At the center is Sgt. Detective Harvey John and Sheriff Thibodeaux, fighting a killer who’s not only brutal—but intelligent and attentive, watching every response, exploiting every weakness, and turning the case into a public storm as an election approaches. This is an ongoing series—each book pulling you deeper into the bayou, deeper into the investigation, and closer to the monster hiding in plain sight.
