The Kindness of Strangers
Julie Smith
A Skip Langdon Mystery
Publisher: Julie Smith

Politics makes the strangest bedfellows of all and in New Orleans, a psychopath's running for mayor. Not just the usual harmless megalomaniac — a murderer and a monster. His supporters and a good proportion of would-be voters think he's just a kindly preacher-man and handily crucify anyone who says otherwise. Enter Detective Skip Langdon, who met the Rev. Errol Jacomine on a case, finds him pretty much the personification of evil, and can point to a pile of corpses to prove it.

But Langdon's fresh out of street cred. On administrative leave after shooting someone, she's become the Cassandra of the police department — everything she says gets put down to paranoia. So finding the proof to discredit Jacomine becomes her obsession until he kidnaps a couple of kids she cares about — and then it turns into a mission from hell.

Langdon has to bull her way through a hurricane to find the small army of Jacomine's thugs who've got 15-year-old Sheila, the closest thing she has to a niece, and Sheila's friend, who's having the mother of inappropriate love affairs — with someone dangerously close to Jacomine.
