The Devil She Knows

With all the evil in this world, you can find the Devil ‘round every corner. But sometimes, the worst demons of all are right in your own backyard.

A severed head washes up on the banks of the Mississippi, a voodoo veve carved into its pale flesh. New Orleans Detective Hunter Despré’s blood runs cold. She’s seen this before—seventeen years ago.

Hunter has inherited more than just the Creole beauty of her houngan mother—she’s also inherited the gift of sight. Plagued by visions of murders—including her sister’s—she swore she’d left the nightmares behind. But they haven’t left her.

When a second body turns up, missing all its organs, whispers of ritualistic killings send the city into a frenzy. Then the storm hits.

As Hurricane Marisol bears down on New Orleans, floodwaters aren’t the only thing rising. With the city on lockdown and the bodies piling up, Hunter realizes she’s chasing something far worse than a serial killer. Someone is using the storm as cover, a perfect smokescreen to feed their insatiable hunger for blood and profit.

Time is running out. The storm is closing in. And as Hunter fights to stop the next murder, she’s forced to face the one thing she fears most—her past. Because you don’t have to believe in the Devil…

The Devil believes in you.

For fans of S.A. Cosby, Gillian Flynn, and Tana French, The Devil She Knows is a gritty Southern Gothic thriller drenched in atmosphere, haunted by the past, and steeped in the kind of darkness you can’t outrun.
