S. H. Baker vividly depicts the beauty and liveliness of the Louisiana Bayou following WWI in her mystery series featuring Cajun lawman Dassas Cormier.
Dassas Cormier, a dashing young Frenchman in southwest Louisiana, is torn between his Acadian heritage and the excitement of the Roaring Twenties. He returns home after a tragic end to his police career to find two murders have taken place in Marshall’s Bayou—a town where nothing ever happens. And the woman of his dreams seems to be involved in at least one of the crimes.
