Long Shadows: A Mystery Thriller (Winton Chevalier Book 1)

When a New Orleans police officer goes missing, seemingly to the notice of his family alone, his civilian brother must set out to find him, entering a world of shady figures, including a shipping magnate, international smugglers, and three dirty cops pushed by belief in the supernatural and lust for its power.
Winton Chevalier has lightning wits and surprising tenacity. He’s not a cop, but comes from a family of lawmen, and possesses a mind that’s as limber with evidence analysis as it is with a cutting joke. In many ways he’d be the perfect man for the job — but he has physical limitations and no experience investigating a kidnapping.
Nevertheless, his dying father’s last wish propels him headlong into a sinister world where men kill for nothing. If he and his brother are to survive, Winton must harness old wounds and his indomitable will.
In a world of shadows, he must cast the longest shadow of them all.
