Beneath the carefree atmosphere of Mardi Gras, something very sinister is going on in the intriguing new Quentin Archer mystery.
Three murders so far. No apparent motive; no link between the victims; none of them have been robbed. One item ties them together: a can of spray gas known as Chill has been left at the scene of each crime. Is someone killing for kicks? With no leads to pursue and no witnesses coming forward, all the cops can do is wait for murder number four.
As rumours emerge, Archer realizes there's a pattern taking shape. Could there be more to these seemingly random killings than meets the eye? Teaming up with voodoo queen Solange Cordray, Archer begins to uncover evidence of a shocking conspiracy.

Although this is the second book in the series, it holds up well as a 'standalone', and the personalities, plot and pace are all admirable. The descriptions of New Orleans at Mardi Gras time were such that the reader feels as though he is in the middle of all that madness and mayhem. This book was a pleasure to read and I highly recommend it * Breakaway Reviewers *
