ICE FIRE

The first in a gripping and timely new series set in New Orleans and featuring Cajun District Judge Jock Boucher.

A scientist who has been hiding for twenty years is finally apprehended. He claims that another judge accepted bribes and helped an energy company steal his intellectual property: a way to use energy from below the seabed that could end dependence on oil. Palmetto fears that the company's greed and carelessness could cause an ecological disaster. With the help of Detective Fitch of the New Orleans Police Department, Boucher seeks justice against the company and its powerful founder. Following a trail of cryptic clues, Boucher finds himself in the line of fire and maybe too far from the law to ever return.
