Katherine Sutcliffe, bestselling author of Darkling I Listen, entwines danger, murder, and sexual tension in Bad Moon Rising, a sizzling tale set in New Orleans. J. D. Damascus, once a proud, much-feared district attorney, has descended into an alcoholic haze since his wife and children were killed by the infamous French Quarter killer. Although a man was convicted and executed for the crime, J.D. has never been sure that he was indeed the killer. Escaping the red-light district where the serial killer roamed, Holly Jones has made a new life for herself in the quiet town of Branson, Missouri, but is drawn back to the Crescent City when a friend from her days on the street phones to relay the news: "The monster is back." As local politicians and law enforcement agencies deny the reality of the new serial murders, Holly and J.D. team up to find the murderer, but not before they confront secrets of their past that could compromise their hunt and shatter their fragile trust in each other.
