A young woman is dead, brutally mutilated and tortured. All evidence points to Marcus Renard, a weirdo architect, but he walks on a technicality. Everyone in the town of Bayou Breaux, Louisiana, is sure that Marcus is the man, but what will it take to prove it?
In "A Thin Dark Line," Tami Hoag spins an engrossing tale as she follows deputy Annie Broussard, the fresh, feisty, young cop who found the body and who still has nightmares about the ghastly scene, and Detective Nick Fourcade, a seasoned Cajun cop, on the brink of crossing that "thin dark line" between justice and vengeance. Their edgy alliance in pursuit of the killer may solve the case or may get them both into serious trouble.
Reader Diane Venora gets into the characters' personas, the Cajun accents, and keeps the tension mounting.
