Black Magic Woman

P.I. Wyatt Thomas is more than a French Quarter sleuth. Much more. Whenever a new client needs someone to investigate ghosts, psychic possession, or the paranormal and supernatural backside of New Orleans, Wyatt Thomas is the one to call.

Burdened by spring floods, malaria and yellow fever, citizens of pre-Civil War New Orleans, Louisiana often turned to voodoo practitioners—African Rosalie, Sanite Dede, Bras Coupe—for protection. None was more powerful, or feared, than Doctor John and Marie Laveau.

When psychic P.I. Detective Wyatt Thomas sees a ghost during a hospital visit, he tells his sometimes business partner, voodoo mambo Mama Mulate, about the encounter. Mama is lethally sensual, Wyatt a deadly sexy alpha male with a dangerous reputation. She trances the sleuth and channels his ghost, soon learning a curse connects him to a long-dead French aristocrat.

Wyatt begins a romance with a beautiful woman he may have known in another historical era. Together, they run the gamut of desire, carnal instincts, passion, darkest fears, and horrifying truths. It may all be for naught because he and the ghost are doomed to remain connected forever unless he time travels back to old New Orleans and lifts the curse before midnight on New Year’s Eve.

Black Magic Woman is a historical, time traveling French Quarter Mystery. It is Louisiana Mystery Writer Eric Wilder's fourth noir, paranormal thriller set in New Orleans. The books include Big Easy, City of Spirits, Primal Creatures, and the soon-to-be released River Road.
