    Summary

    Stale smoke hung in the air, creating a haze that lingered above the heads of a wide variety of patrons. In a place that thrived on dodging legalities, every manner of sin and social faux pas took place behind the closed doors of local speakeasies. That’s why Alastor loved it here. No one cared what the colour of your skin was, how much money your daddy had—or didn’t have, how high the skirts were hiked, nor if your chosen company had the same anatomy as you. There was freedom in these dark rooms filled with the thrumming beat of slow jazz and liberally poured drinks of questionable origin.

    Alastor Delacour is the Toast of New Orleans, the golden voice of radio in a town bustling with all manner of depravity in a time when being straight, white, and privileged was the only way to get ahead. He was none of those things, but his favorite Friday night companions—his old flame and his protégé-in-training—most certainly were. He chose not to hold it against them.

    An up-and-coming television personality, Vincent Whittman was determined to make his star shine brighter—no matter what it took. A few choice words from his mentor had set him down a dark path that was both dangerous and unexpectedly thrilling.
