But when the body of a prominent banker is discovered in the belly of a 16-foot alligator and Tony agrees to look into the incident, death latches onto his scent like a cottonmouth water moccasin stalking a wounded swamp rabbit.
Deep in the dark bayou, surrounded by bellowing alligators, Tony learns the truth he hated to admit while trying to unravel the mystery of the banker's murder.

“C’est mon cauchemar! This is my nightmare.”
If I heard that old expression once while I was
growing up, I heard it a thousand times. An idiom in
the oral tradition of Nova Scotia, the exiled Acadians
carried it with them throughout the dispersal to
Louisiana beginning in the eighteenth century. The
word itself, cauchemar, sometimes meant nightmare;
sometimes, it meant witches, both evil and good.
Whatever it meant at the moment, the avowal was
usually uttered by superstitious old Acadians, blaming
the misery of a restless or sleepless night on the curses
of evil witches, or cauchemars.
