A serial killer is using Airbnb units to stage his murders, but a teenage runaway has escaped his grasp and now she's in the wind, believing she's killed him. Meanwhile, the real killer stalks the city - and her.</p><p>Cody, the pink-haired sixteen-year-old, should be in school or at the mall texting her friends, not hanging out at the intersection of serial murder and human trafficking. When the options are: (1) Return to a life of slavery (2) Go to jail for murder (3) Be killed by a serial killer, Option 4 makes perfect sense - RUN! As mean as the streets of The City That Care Forgot can be, this child attracts angels (often unlikely ones) - and entire packs of dogs - who come to her aid.</p><p>She also finds a friend in NOPD's newest Sergeant - big (six-foot!), beautiful, tough, and tender-hearted Skip Langdon. Skip knows her best hope of finding the killer is to find Cody - plus she feels for the girl, in whom she recognizes a younger version of her plucky, resourceful, whip-smart self. The city's hard-boiled; the detective has a heart the size of the Superdome.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Julie Smith writes like jazz should sound--cool, complex, and <strong>penetrating right to the heart</strong>." -<em>Val McDermid, best-selling author of the Tony Hill series</em></p><p>"If you haven't discovered Smith yet, now is the time to do so... Move over, Sara Paretsky." --KPFA-FM (Berkeley, CA)<br /> <br /> "If it's gritty realism you're craving, gently simmered with spicy suspense and marvelously memorable characters, Smith is the perfect New Orleans tour guide... --The Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, MS)<br /> <br /> "BRILLIANT." --San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle</p><p> </p><br>
