Flucht nach Mexiko

Some memories - like that of a mysterious summer from his youth - Dave Robicheaux prefers to suppress. However, the confession of a dying man forces him to finally solve a long-standing mystery surrounding the disappearance of a woman. Back then, his half-brother Jimmie wanted to elope with Ida Durbin to Mexico, but on the day of their escape, she suddenly vanished. The search for the truth plunges Robicheaux into the intrigues of the wealthiest family in New Orleans. At the same time, he faces a completely different problem, as women in his district are being kidnapped and brutally murdered. He investigates both cases until he realizes that all the crimes are ominously connected.
