Description
Nick Noelle, a salt-of-the-earth, Creole-born detective, has always been his own man, playing by his own rules. When police discover that the mutilated victim found in the swampy bayou is the body of Julia Brunswick, daughter of the richest oilman in Texas, Noelle and his god-fearing partner Juan Lopez are put on the case. The story twists and turns, entrapping readers in the drama of Houston socialites and miscreants alike. With the turn of the page, the death count grows as one maniacal murder follows another.

Thanks to netgalley for the opportunity to read this great book.
It is set in Houston and the main character is Nick Noelle, a man's man detective, use to doing things his way, or no way else. A body is found, and it is then discovered that it is of a young woman, the daughter of one of the richest oil tycoons in Texas.
Noelle and his trusty sidekick, Juan investigate the murder, and the book takes a lot of twists and turns and is really an entertaining, thrilling read.
The book's ending was done well, and I really enjoyed discovering the truths behind the murders. Highly recommended.
