A New York Times Bestseller PI Bernie Little and his canine partner Chet happen upon a prison work crew that includes Frenchie Boutette, an old criminal pal they sent up the river. Frenchie, who comes from an old Louisiana family full of black sheep, needs help finding his one law-abiding relative, his brother Ralph, who has gone missing. Though he?s tempted to take another job (with a big payday) in Alaska, Bernie decides to set course for the bayous of Louisiana.
