Old deaths stop looking like accidents. The swamp is full of bodies that were supposed to stay quiet.With a young deputy at his side and a target on his back, Rourke has to decide how far he’s willing to go on his last case—and how many powerful men he’s willing to drag down with him before the water rises again.LAST CASE IN CYPRESS PARISH is a tense, atmospheric crime thriller set in the American South, perfect for readers who like small-town corruption, swamp noir, and detectives who refuse to look away.
