Cliff St. James, like the city of New Orleans, has taken his
share of hard knocks. First there was
the killer Hurricane that destroyed his hometown, ruined his mixed-martial-arts
dojo, and nearly bankrupted him. A
former cop, he narrowly escaped assassination at the hands of ruthless gangs
while solving his first murder case as a private eye. Now after rebuilding his
life, trouble has found him again.

In a city overwhelmed with murder and mayhem, the last homicide before a Category 5  hurricane wipes out New Orleans is quickly forgotten and remains unsolved.  Until now.

Maverick archeologist Dr. Sky Wilder has never been able to prove any of his outside-the-box fringe theories… until now. When he breaks what had been an impenetrable code, he unearths a long-buried Egyptian stone tablet in Arizona’s Red Rock country.

Whoever possesses all three hidden tablets holds the key to locate an ancient alchemical text containing a formula for physical immortality.
