The White League (The Toby Press, February 2005)
Coffee magnate Paul Blanchard's comfortable world is turned upside down when his old fraternity brother threatens to expose a dangerous secret that Paul has been harboring for 20 years -- unless Paul bankrolls Morvant's bid for governor. And in the bargain, Morvant demands that Paul secure the financial and political backing of a clandestine group called The White League, which Morvant insists has been the real powerbrokers in New Orleans for a hundred years. Paul's desperate pursuit of the truth uncovers family secrets, historical intrigue, and the underworld machinations of a mysterious group that will resort to murder in order to maintain their control of the city.
