Delve into the unspoken history of New Orleans, a city known for not only its beauty and lively scene, but also for voodoo and the occult. Be careful not to disrespect a culture where dark magic and spells have been woven into the fabric and history of the Crescent City. Fifteen years ago, a Cincinnati reporter was sent to New Orleans to cover Mardi Gras. He never came home. Now, journalist Eddie Schmitt is chasing the trail his uncle Ray left behind. The case may have grown cold but not forgotten. What begins as a search for answers quickly turns into something far darker. In the French Quarter's dark shadowy alleyways and smoke-filled bars, Eddie hears whispers: a young girl who died of a broken heart...and a voodoo priestess who blames Ray for her loss. A skeptic by nature, Eddie tries to dismiss the talk of curses and spirits. But the deeper he digs, the stranger things become. His uncle's journal reads less like a reporter's hastily scribbled notes and more like a warning. Drawn into a world where grief holds power, magic has rules, and vengeance lingers beyond the grave, Eddie Schmidt begins to realize the answers he seeks may come at a terrible cost. In Beneath the Creole Stars, some mysteries are buried for a reason, and some doors, once opened, can never be closed.
