Blurb

A dead Mardi Gras queen. One killer hiding in plain sight…

Stewardess Patty Byrne thought a Mardi Gras layover in New Orleans with her best friend and her boyfriend would be the adventure of a lifetime. She was right—just not the kind she planned.

When the beautiful queen of the Krewe de la Lune, Lisa Marchand, is found dead in the courtyard of her family's Garden District mansion, Patty realizes she may have been the last person to see her alive.

After discovering Lisa was a secret FBI informant against her own family, Patty goes undercover, working her way into the city's most dangerous family one carefully worded conversation at a time. But the deeper she gets, the more she realizes that in New Orleans, everyone is wearing a mask long after Mardi Gras is over.

Behind the magnolias and the mansions lies a world of corruption, betrayal, and deadly secrets.

Can Patty unmask the killer before the killer unmasks her?
