The Sin Eater

About the Book

New Orleans: Henry Marrier's been good too long. A medical school geek, closet gun freak, and crime buff, he's tired of the books and towing the line. Ronaldo is his best friend from high school. Ex drug dealer and current mortician's apprentice, he's got work for Henry: guard the houses of the dead while the funeral's going on. Don't steal from them yourself. Especially not drugs, drug money, and evidence of other sin. But Henry's been good too long, and being bad is much easier than he would ever dream--or want. Faked funerals. Corpse mutilation. Deadly strippers, a crop of eyeballs, and murder. How did he get here, again? More importantly, how can he get back?
