There's an island in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana. During Prohibition, gangsters and rum runners operated the Majestic, the largest hotel and casino north of Havana. The Majestic Hotel & Casino lies deserted, the island's only remaining inhabitants lighthouse keeper Jack Wiesinski, and Grogan la Tortue, the last Atakapa Indian. At least among the living. Now, ghosts, vampires, Cajun werewolves, and other paranormal entities occupy the island, or live in the regal old hotel. Check into the Majestic anytime, but be prepared to stay forever.

Oyster Bay Boogie, Book 1 of Eric Wilder's Oyster Bay Mystery Series set in New Orleans and a secluded island on the Louisiana coast. A pot of gold isn't all you'll find at the end of the rainbow, and every night on Oyster Island is dark, stormy and magical.
