A New York Times Bestseller & the Basis for the Hit Showtime Docuseries Murder in the Bayou is a New York Times bestselling chronicle of a high-stakes investigation into the murders of eight women in a troubled Southern parish that is “part murder case, part corruption exposé, and part Louisiana noir” (New York magazine). Between 2005 and 2009, the bodies of eight women were discovered in Jennings, Louisiana, a bayou town of 10,000 in the Jefferson Davis parish. The women came to be known as the Jeff Davis 8, and local law enforcement officials were quick to pursue a serial killer theory, stirring a wave of panic across Jennings’ class-divided neighborhoods. The Jeff Davis 8 had been among society’s most vulnerable—impoverished, abused, and mired with mental illness. They engaged in sex work as a means of survival. And their underworld activity frequently occurred at a decrepit motel called the Boudreaux Inn. As the cases went unsolved, the community began to look inward. Rumors of police corruption and evidence tampering, of collusion between street and shield, cast the serial killer theory into doubt. But what was really going on in the humid rooms of the Boudreaux Inn? Why were crimes going unsolved and police officers being indicted? What had the eight women known? And could anything be done do stop the bloodshed? Mixing muckraking research and immersive journalism over the course of a five-year investigation, Ethan Brown reviewed thousands of pages of previously unseen homicide files to posit what happened during each woman’s final hours delivering a true crime tale that is “mesmerizing” (Rolling Stone) and “explosive” (Huffington Post). “Brown is a man on a mission...he gives the victims more respectful attention than they probably got in real life” (The New York Times). “A must-read for true-crime fans” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), with a new afterword, Murder in the Bayou is the story of an American town buckling under the dark forces of poverty, race, and class division—and a lightning rod for justice for the daughters it lost.

Kristi Blocker, a new Treasury agent, finds there is more to south Louisiana than Cajun music, hot boiled crawfish and cold oysters on the half shell. The petite agent flees into the vast Atchafalaya Basin after confronting the killers of her two coworkers. Hawk Theriot, the only federal agent assigned to this swamp that is larger than the state of Rhode Island, must use his unique skill set to track her down. The odd pair, as different in style as in stature, uncover layers of corruption and deceit common in Louisiana, often with unexpected outcomes. As they dig deeper, the counterfeiting ring they are tracking turns the tables. It hunts them. And the ring does not have in mind to wish them good health. The peril grows as they peel back layer after layer of deceit, corruption and betrayal. They learn to depend on each other as they near the rotten core of the cabal. Then they discover the real danger is closer than either ever dreamed.
