Sonnier-familien har en mørk og dyster bakgrunn, og Dave Robicheaux kjenner de fleste av hemmelighetene deres. Men selv han blir rystet når fortidens mudder kommer opp til overflaten, forlengst tilbaketrengte demoner blir synlige igjen, og vold og drap med økende hyppighet oppsøker de tre Sonnier-søsknene, som han har kjent fra de var barn. Det er en veritabel heksegryte Dave Robicheaux med velkjent stahet stikker hånden ned i, sterkere krydret enn i cajun-sjappene i New Orleans՚ bakgater, med ingredienser som CIA, gangstervelde og Ku Klux Klan.

Ute i dypet finnes de, likene av de tyske ubåtmannskapene som under annen verdenskrig lå ved munningen av Mississippi og ventet på amerikanske oljetankere. Som barn hadde førstebetjent Dave Robicheaux mareritt om de døde sjøfolkene. Som student kom han tilfeldigvis over vraket av en av båtene mens han dykket. Det er denne hendelsen som mange år senere – i et New Orleans på vei mot tusenårsriket – setter både hans og andres liv i fare. Hvorfor er en jødisk organisasjon og en dreven skurk fra det irske miljøet interessert i båten? Hvor kommer den italienske mafiaen inn i bildet.

Men hvem tar alvorlig en mann som påstår han har overnaturlige evner, når han er så full at han har problemer med å holde Cadillacen på veien? De blankslitte knoklene han finner i en bortgjemt sump, er likevel håndgripelige nok. Og cajunen Dave Robicheaux, førstebetjent ved sheriffkontoret i Iberia Parish, var øyenvitne da mannen med kjetting ble drept – lynsjet – i 1957.

It doesn't matter whether you're conservative or liberal, religious or skeptical, the very fact you are able to understand the words you're reading right now—that we are all able to communicate with each other using language—means we must share a vast body of beliefs. While language may shape the way we think about the world to some small extent, it makes much more sense to say truth shapes language to a very large extent. That’s the central argument of this book: Truth is the condition that makes language possible.

Finalmente, nos presenta una comunión relacionada con el aspecto práctico en nuestra experiencia de la edificación genuina en la iglesia.
