Digging deeper into the mystery, she discovers layer after layer of deception and betrayal.<br /><br />Soon, Niki discovers that the most dangerous predators on Spirit Island are not alligators, water moccasins or coyotes, but something else entirely. But can she find out who is behind the conspiracy and bring them to justice?<br /><br />A fast-paced tale set in Cajun Country, Murder On Spirit Island is the first book in Jim Riley&#39;s Niki Dupre Mysteries series.
