"The denouement is intensely dramatic and completely satisfying" in this romantic thriller of a new wife suspected of murder in the Louisiana bayou (The New York Times).

Married in haste to the wealthy Eric Chatonier and whisked away to his plantation home in the bayou country near New Orleans, Sophronia—Rony—is unprepared for the chilly reception of her new husband's family. Worse, is the accusation by family friend Judge Henry Yarrow that the formerly penniless Rony is a fortune hunter. Even Eric has suddenly cooled toward her, even more so when Henry is found murdered in his family home. Accused of the judge's demise, Rony is trapped in a terrifying household—and an unsettling marriage—she cannot escape. Until the dark truth is discovered. . . .
