Prohibition has just ended, and the US is still struggling in the depths of the Great Depression. But for notorious playboy and ex-bootlegger Marty Storm, life couldnโt be better. Only his best friend knows about his knack for water magicโand for making โproblemsโ disappearโthough no one knows his familyโs shipping business was built on sorcery and murder. When heโs accused of a gruesome murder, he knows heโs been framed, but corrupt cops and his conscience arenโt his only problem. Vengeful spirits, a little girl with a strange connection to the Los Angeles River, a crate full of trouble, and broken memories, force him to unwind the horrifying secrets of his own past and return to the dark heart of his family in the bayous outside New Orleans. With some unlikely allies both new and old, Marty must confront the ugly source of his familyโs fortune and power. Murder, magic, love, death, and family: Marty Storm has come to the tipping point of his life, whether he knows it or not, and to control his destiny, heโll take a desperate plunge into dark magic he swore heโd never use.
