Sinister Legacy (Claire Legacy FBI Mystery Series Book 2)

FBI Special Agent Claire Legacy is driven by the unsolved murder of her father and her family's law enforcement legacy. In New Orleans during Carnival season, she pursues criminals through a city where revelry masks darker realities. When the captain of the Krewe de Lumière is electrocuted on his parade float in front of thousands, it initially appears accidental. But Claire discovers a note on his throne and finds his obituary was published at the exact moment of his death. This is no accident—it's an execution. One by one, New Orleans's elite begin to die in deaths that mirror the seven deadly sins. A group calling themselves the Purifiers claims responsibility, viewing corruption as justification for murder and framing their killings as salvation. With Mardi Gras approaching its peak, Claire has only days to identify the killers before more blood spills through the city's streets. The investigation becomes personal when Claire's own mother is marked as the next target. In a city built on secrets, Claire must navigate a case where the line between sin and salvation blurs, and the perpetrators believe their violence is righteous.
