[Shallow End Gals 04] • Catahoula

Chief prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney General's office, Sabastian Delacroix, had been nicknamed Catahoula by the New Orleans press. The Catahoula dog breed is best known for their brilliant minds, steely blue eyes, and cunning attack skills. The dog tracks silently, holds prey with eye to eye contact and posturing. Cat's courtroom style, honed to efficient execution, is often compared to his namesake.

A high profile murder from eight years ago was never brought to trial. The accused murderer, Ed Meyer, was declared dead in the 2005 prisoner transfer during Katrina. Alive but in hiding, Ed brings evidence of his innocence to the only man he trusts. Ed risks everything, that Cat will believe him.

When Ed's request ignites a storm of twisted, deadly events, Cat seeks the assistance of SSA Roger Dance and SSA Paul Casey of the FBI. Cat fears that nothing is as it seems. Reality has become a mere reflection of perception in a house of mirrors. This is a tale of intrigue, deceit, greed, innocence, betrayal, and the subtle guilt that binds them.
