My Love, My Hate, And My Voodoo Murders

Anne Harold sells the printed material on freelance and contractual bases. She sees good money in The Big Easy, a place visited by the famous and rich, but more important where rumor abound about strange murders and a phantom killer, supernatural tones she thinks, but if she can find an angle and contract with some of the newspapers she will collect for her efforts. Of course she must beat out the competition and get the copy out first to create effective and valuable print. Her love life has been on hold as she sits, reads, and drinks coffee at one of the cafés frequented by tourist, Café Du Monde, famous for its beignets. She invites a young man looking for a place to devour his bag of beignets to sit at her table and contracts him for dangerous work. As they each find out the two are more than just visiting tourists.
