Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In the streets of New Orleans, power wears many faces.Some wear suits.Some wear clerical collars.Some wear smiles.And some hide behind the promise of helping the people.For decades, Jeremiah "Saint" Devereux has been one of the city's most respected community leaders. To the public, he is a tireless activist, neighborhood advocate, and champion of the forgotten. Politicians seek his endorsement. Churches praise his work. Entire communities trust his voice.But beneath the surface of New Orleans lies a hidden network of influence built on old loyalties, buried secrets, and dangerous ambitions stretching back generations.When a series of mysterious deaths, forgotten records, and long-buried conspiracies begin resurfacing, journalist Naomi Laurent, retired power brokers, former gangsters, and unlikely allies are pulled into an investigation that threatens to expose the truth behind a decades-old political machine that shaped the city from the shadows.At the center of it all stands Saint.Friend.Leader.Enemy.Savior.Or perhaps simply another man trying to navigate a city where nobody truly owns anything-not power, not influence, and certainly not New Orleans itself.Raw, provocative, and steeped in the rhythms of the Crescent City, The Saint of Magnolia Street is a sweeping urban drama of politics, crime, loyalty, redemption, and the ordinary people who ultimately determine the fate of their communities.Because the greatest battle was never about who controlled the city.It was about who was willing to serve it.A powerful standalone novel about power, responsibility, and the enduring soul of New Orleans.
