Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but in Louisiana everything gets a splash of hot sauce.

Louisiana

State Patrol Detective Cooter "Cadillac" Holland is called upon to

locate State Senator Chester Donovan's missing daughter-in-law. A pool of blood

in the trunk of her Mercedes implicates the senator's son in her apparent

murder, but his disappearance is just the first wrinkle Cadillac encounters.

The detective is anxious to solve this case and get back to New Orleans, as the

town of Donovan, Louisiana is known as being a place 'where there are more

alligators than people, and the alligators are friendlier."

The case peels away secrets the town has done its best to keep hidden from

the outside world, and the existence of an innovative serial killer who might

put Detective Holland to their to-do list if he doesn't find them first.
