"Listen to me ...." Savannah tried to call out from her hospital bed, but no one could hear. In a coma, she could not communicate the dangers she had discovered as her happily ever after world crumbled around her. While her race for political office had uncovered a web of scandals and lies, it paled in comparison to the darker secrets surrounding her husband, Michael. If she could speak again, would it be too late? The good, the bad and the ugly sides of Louisiana's political mechanisms and human nature are laid bare in all their glory and gore in Murder on False River. Savannah O'Brien Devereaux life is thrown into chaos through a series of events that plunge her into a world of murder, dubious politics and gut-wrenching turmoil. Author Martha Gabour Manuel draws on her own experiences in political campaigning and historical knowledge of the Pointe Coupee Parish to craft a credible and chilling novel that's unpredictable - and impossible to set down.
