The Tainted Keitre — Jillian Chantal

New Orleans cemeteries have always been called the cities of the dead. One hot August night, they become even more sinister when two women are found murdered.

Amina McDonough has lived in Louisiana her whole life and has been in love with her best friend's brother almost as long. That man, Anton Benoit, a New Orleans detective, is in charge of the murder investigations and has never had time for Amina.

When Anton starts to believe in an old swamp legend, his fellow officers think he's lost his marbles. He's known Amina a long time and ignored her for the same length of time. When he starts to pay attention to her and talk about the creature from the swamp, Amina thinks the same thing as Anton's colleagues; the man has lost his mind. Until she becomes a target of the killer herself.
