The heat in New Orleans is intense along the water's edge. Swamps and bayous mark the city--a city of division: East, West, Downtown, and Uptown.Detective Albert Harris has investigated many crimes in his distinguished career, uncovering clues to gruesome mysteries along the foggy banks of the timeless Mississippi. He carries his own secrets to the courthouse where he stands for justice with an ironclad conscience. The unsolved murder of his daughter, Miranda, is a bleeding wound rending his heart. He marshals on, searching for answers and accepting no compromises. He's raising his grandson, Kyle, who has his own secrets--mysteries that compound as he endures the torment of his classmates. Harris is not amused. He feels a rising tension between what he assumes and what he sees which threatens to tear his family apart.Megan Callahan is a hard case. She flaunts her success as the city's top criminal defense attorney and distances herself from questions of morality. Those lines were brutally breached in her past; now they have all but disappeared. Megan becomes the key to explosive events in Scarlet Crosses. As she steps across Harris' justice line, she becomes first an enemy and then his responsibility when her quest for true love leads to a bloody betrayal. As the investigation unfolds, she and Harris are swept into a raging torrent of terror and pain. Their relationship carries the clues to the truth--and the keys to transformation. As their personal and professional lives intertwine, Harris will confront fears he never knew he had, and Megan will face demons she thought she had vanquished. With emotions spilling over their boundaries, Harris' greatest challenge is revealed. It's the most important case of his life. The one at home. Miranda. Kyle. His own conflicted heart.
