Still shaken after her kidnapping in Louisiana Fever, psychological profiler Kit Franklyn has banished herself to a menial job at a photography gallery when she gets a call from her old boss, Chief Medical Examiner Andy Broussard. Can Kit run up to Angola State Prison and satisfy herself and Andy as to whether the man whose fingerprints seem to place him at a recent homicide really was at the time (as the Angola warden claims) still enjoying the state's hospitality?

The routine errand spins wildly out of control. As soon as the warden tells her that Ronald Cicero has just died and, oops, been cremated to boot, you know how the rest of Kit's day will go; it doesn't hit bottom till long after she leaves a funeral home in nearby Courville run by the warden's brother.

Back in New Orleans, the governor taps Kit to avenge that nightmarish day by going undercover as a lab tech at Agrilabs, which his office has tied to that Courville mortuary, while Andy's off to Memphis to investigate the fatal heart attack of a physiologist who's also somehow involved.
