A Thin Dark Line: A Novel (Doucet Book 1)

Terror stalks the streets of Bayou Breaux, Louisiana. A suspected murderer goes free on a technicality, and the cop accused of planting evidence against him is removed from the case. Detective Nick Fourcade refuses to step away, despite having crossed the line before. This case threatens to push him further. Deputy Annie Broussard discovered the woman's mutilated body and still hears echoes of dying screams. She wants justice. But investigating means allying with a man she distrusts and making enemies among her colleagues. It means being drawn into the confidence of a killer. For Annie, pursuing justice means risking everything—including her life. The search for truth leads down a twisted trail through Louisiana's bayous and into the darkest reaches of the human heart.
