Last of the Red Hot Poppas

The Governor of Louisiana is found dead one morning with lipstick smeared on his thigh. The regal First Lady strives to keep her composure as a young attorney delves into the muck of local politics, searching for answers. This novel travels through a corrupt and vibrant culture--to a brothel in the swamps, to Angola Prison, to a secluded mortuary and back to a dramatic funeral at the capitol--and lurking beneath the intrigue is the lasting damage caused by oil brokers, pumping their toxic poisons deep into the earth.
