Take the plunge into these tales of deadly women who will stop at nothing until vengeance is theirs. The Better Off Dead series delves into the farthest corners of your mind, where your deepest, darkest fears lurk.

Nach seinem Abschied von der Mordkommission in New Orleans hat sich Dave Robicheaux ins Delta des Mississippi zurückgezogen und einen Bootsverleih aufgemacht. Als er beim Krabbenfischen Augenzeuge eines Flugzeugabsturzes wird, holt das Verbrechen ihn wieder ein. Der Expolizist, der selbst ein kleines Mädchen aus dem Wrack rettet, wird stutzig, als die Behörden bei der Zahl der Opfer mogeln. Als er auf eigene Faust Nachforschungen anstellt, hagelt es Drohungen, und die Welt des Bayou versinkt in einen blutigen Alptraum.

Alte Freunde bringen manchmal Unglück. Diese Erkenntnis macht Dave Robicheaux, als er unverhofft dem abgehalfterten Rock'n'Roller Dixie Lee Pugh wiederbegegnet. Pugh arbeitet inzwischen für eine Ölfirma und berichtet ihm von zwei finsteren Kollegen und ihren dreckigen Machenschaften in den Bergen Montanas.

Die Warnung kommt aus der Todeszelle. "Passen Sie auf", sagt kurz vor seiner Exekution ein Mafia-Killer dem Polizisten Dave Robicheaux von der Mordkommission in New Orleans, "die Kolumbianer wollen Ihren Kopf." Und prompt muss Robicheaux wieder an das tote schwarze Mädchen denken, das er jüngst aus einem Tümpel gezogen hat.
