The Cleansing Fire is told through the eyes of the main character, Billy, whose life we follow through his teenage years. The foundation of Billy's strength lies in a strong bond between he and his grandfather that is developed over time through their weekly trips to the family's Honey Island fishing camp.
One day while hunting on the edge of the swamp Billy wanders up to the edge of Blister's camp. This camp is known as a location for wild boy and late-night party events. Billy's grandfather frequently warned him to stay away from this camp. Despite this warning, Billy was inadvertently drawn to the back of Blister's camp and there discovered a beautiful teenage girl, Lillie, hiding in a deer hunting stand.
As Billy develops a secret relationship with Lillie, he innocently becomes drawn into the web of vicious syndicate activity with seedy characters operating between The Mission on the outskirts of the French Quarter in New Orleans and their sex trade activity, throughout the parish and at Blister's in Honey Island. Over time, as he learns more of Lillie's life story, Billy becomes the primary character that could rescue Lillie by exposing the illegal activity at the Mission. In doing so, however, he realizes that he needs support and direction from others that he trusts. Unfortunately, this now places their lives in jeopardy as well as his own.
The Cleansing Fire takes a dark dramatic twist as the victims of adolescent sex trafficking begin to regain a sense of self-worth and confidence, seeking a second chance in their damaged lives. The Cleansing Fire opens during a raid on Blister's camp and quickly implodes into a sequence of action-oriented twist and turns. During the raid, Remy Delacroix, New Orleans assistant DA, has no idea that, Maurice Maretti, the kingpin of Orleans Parish mafia, is hidden in a safe place under the floor of Blister's camp. As Maurice impatiently waits for the camp to clear out and to be rescued by Blister, Maurie plans a course of retribution. The Cleansing Fire is a can't put it down journey, which metaphorically uses the power of the flame to conquer evil as well as a cleansing for the body and soul of the sex-trafficking victims, allowing for a fresh new life direction. A native of Louisiana and indigenous to the Honey Island Swamp, the authors books are a rich gumbo of Mafia, Voodoo, Fortune Tellers, murder, sex trafficking, quick witted locals, and gators. You never know what is going to bubble up but I guarantee that it will be flavorful. A great read that takes you right into the swamp and all its mysteries. Roger Newman, author of Occam's Razor, Two Drifters, What Becomes and new release Will O' The Wisp. Check out Rogers on Amzone.com
