Some doors open during Mardi Gras. Some never close.
Avery Johnson came home to New Orleans with a good job, a clean slate, and his girl waiting on him back in Chicago. All he wanted was one wild carnival night with his partner, Franky Fresh.He got it. Two beautiful strangers. A party that wouldn't quit. And then... nothing.
Avery wakes up alone on the median of St. Charles Avenue with swamp mud caked on his jeans, a strand of red twine knotted three times around his wrist, and a hole in his memory where the night should be. He tries to cut the twine off. By morning, it's back. Tighter. Now a Jackson Square tarot reader turns over a card that bleeds. A homeless man sniffs the air around Avery and backs away in fear. Something follows him home and leaves wet footprints across his floor. And when a body turns up in an alley on Claiborne Avenue, a homicide detective puts Avery's name at the top of his list.
To clear his name and save his soul, Avery has to follow the trail through Bourbon Street pimps, Ninth Ward gangsters, and rootworkers' back rooms, all the way to a shack deep in the bayou where a priestess has been waiting a long, long time for him to come home. In New Orleans, every blessing has a price. And somebody already paid it with Avery's name.
Familiar Spirits is a gritty, darkly funny urban horror novel of hoodoo, haunting, and hard-won faith from J. Maurice. Contains strong language, violence, and mature content.
