But pursuing the investigation will mean forming an alliance with a man she doesn’t trust and making enemies of the men she works with. It will mean being drawn into the confidence of a killer. For Annie Broussard, finding justice will mean risking everything—including her life. The search for the truth has begun—one that will lead down a twisted trail through the steamy bayous of Louisiana, and deep into the darkest reaches of the human heart.

A modern tale in the tradition of the noir fiction classics of James M. Cain and Elmore Leonard, Deadly Instinct tells the story of two couples who are brought together by a fundamental human instinct - the desire for children - but instead find themselves embroiled in a dangerous scheme fueled by greed and avarice. Billy and Barbara Evans seem like an ordinary couple, but looks are deceiving where Billy is concerned. An early-30s man who has never truly grown up, he dreams of riches and position; Barbara, his high school sweetheart, simply wants a family and is blind to Billy's dark side, though she is aware of his close ties to the shady and rich Jacko Denby. Prominent and respectable on the outside, Denby is reputed to have organized crime ties that pay for his opulent lifestyle, one that Billy craves for himself and Barbara. Sarah and Jacob Glass live in the nearby West Virginia coal mining country, but are worlds apart from the Evans in education and social position. Both are salt of the earth people, honest and hardworking, and desperate to have the child they cannot conceive. In their early 40s, they are now eager to adopt, but Jacob's teenage criminal past and their precarious finances have made it impossible. The story moves at an exhilarating pace when Ethan Boggs, a disgraced lawyer, enters their lives. Boggs, who is adroit at arranging hasty and superficially legal adoptions for aspiring parents who are willing to pay, wrestles with his own demons of gambling and alcohol. His instincts for self-destruction put him under the thumb of a local loan shark and render him constantly in need of cash. Billy's semi-legitimate business schemes with Denby bring him tastes of the wealth he craves. Desperate to have it all, he concocts an unholy plan that will give him the financial success he desires, but at a price he cannot imagine. A shrewd detective and a glamorous television reporter begin to sniff out the truth, leading to a fateful confrontation with a shattering climax. Deadly Instinct weaves a complex web of deceit, blood and passion in an unforgettable tale of the most basic human instincts - and their explosive consequences.
Louis Passau is America’s greatest living orchestral conductor, a legendary, world-acclaimed artist whose ninetieth birthday will be marked by a glittering celebratory concert at New York’s Lincoln Center.

The Maestro agrees to be interrogated, but only after the concert. British Intelligence call in Big Herbie Kruger to question the Maestro, and thanks to the once-famous agent-runner Passau survives an assassination attempt in his moment of glory. Still a target, he now insists on dealing only with Kruger, who desperately seeks a safe-house to conduct the debriefing. As he grapples with the elusive truth about the conductor – from the man’s first memories of his Bavarian village, to his adventures as a young immigrant in New York, his experiences in Capone’s Chicago and his ruthless rise to fame and fortune – Herbie Kruger finds himself ensnared in the Maestro’s dangerous secrets and deceits.
