Devil in the Bayou
A Little Girl. A Family Secret. A Devil in the Bayou…
New Orleans, 1953. Eight-year-old Delphine Larouche only cares about three things: saving her stray puppy "Bandit", ignoring the voices from the bayou, and understanding her father's growing illness.
As the voices in the bayou grow louder, and her father's sickness becomes more severe, her mother is forced to call Miss Sabine Duroche-Laveau, a Voudou practitioner, who will cleanse him of his demons.
But little does anyone know, the thing that has haunted her father's mind for so many years has been trying to escape. Only it didn't know how. Until tonight.
And the consequences of this one night will change New Orleans forever.
Devil in the Bayou is the soul-stirring prequel, the singular event that sets everything in motion, to The Spirit Hunter supernatural thriller series. If you like atmospheric writing, flawed characters, and dark urban legends, then you'll love this heart-wrenching tale.
