The Jury’s a vigilante organization out to get the bad guys “who escaped prosecution” on an ambitious national scale. But there’s a Crescent City connection. Sure, New Orleans is known for corruption, but suddenly the good guys get a break—an honest police chief. And then someone guns him down. When The Jury takes out the chief’s killer, Detective Skip Langdon’s on the case. But no one cares! After all, the guy was a cop-killer. Skip cares really a lot—because she’s pretty sure The Jury’s the brainchild of her old nemesis Errol Jacomine, self-styled compassionate preacher but suspected psychopath. As an added complication, Jacomine’s sent his crazy son Daniel to kidnap his own daughter, Jacomine’s granddaughter Lovelace, who escapes and runs to her Uncle Isaac in New Orleans. An outsider artist and major oddball, Isaac’s taken a vow of silence. Still, uncle and niece manage to communicate, forming a sinewy bond that could save—or endanger--both their lives. And Langdon comes up with a plan so clever even the FBI can’t shout her down.
