From Library Journal When Aunt Althea dies and leaves niece Thea Tamborella a mansion in the Garden District, Thea returns to New Orleans to settle the estate. Having lived in exile for ten years, she finds herself inexplicably drawn back to the city where life has become dangerous. Citizens are pitted against each other: black against white, rich against poor. Fear is pervasive. Despite the murder of her parents in her youth and the paranoia of some of her old friends, Thea remains open-minded. She hires Burgess Monroe, the son of her aunt's housekeeper, to remodel her house. A childhood acquaintance, Burgess has become a local drug kingpin and the Bishop of Convent Street. As the story unfolds, Thea finds herself physically drawn to Burgess. Wiltz writes beautifully and compellingly, creating the unique aura of New Orleans and a phalanx of well-developed characters. There is a sustained and effective atmosphere of racial tension throughout. Recommended. - Kimberly G. Allen, MCI Corporate Info. Resources Ctr., Washington, D.C.
