Shannon Reynolds is sure she isn't a killer, but her memory of the murder of her friend and her father never returned. After five years of prison, then self-imposed exile, she returns to her home town in central Louisiana to get some answers. Who murdered her father? No one would believe she was innocent. But, she could remember nothing about that night. No matter how abusive he was to her, she could never have killed him, then set fire to the trailer in which they lived, and burned him up. Why has her surrogate mother refused to tell her what happened to her junkie mother? Then, the other murder. She had been there; she remembered the party, but nothing after, when the murder had taken place. Could she be a killer? She will have no peace until she has the answers, and has returned to Plattesville to get them. But she gets more than she bargained for when she runs into her childhood friend, Tamantha, and becomes involved in drug smuggling. Murder, a deadly fire, and betrayal follow Shannon when she and Tamantha are hunted through the swamps and bayous of Louisiana by the cops and the murderous smugglers. Then, deep in the bayou, Tamantha's Voodoo Priestess aunt calls on her powers to help them turn the tables on their pursuers. This mystery thriller, by acclaimed author Cheryl A. Nicholas, is a story best not read before sleep.
