August 2005. As Hurricane Katrina is preparing to strike New Orleans, Hugo Van Helsing, the modern-day descendent of that notorious family, has come to the Big Easy to investigate the mysterious death of his uncle. From the French Quarter to St. Louis Cemetery No.1, from the Garden District to Bayou St. John, Hugo must untangle a frightening conspiracy that binds together the murky world of Voodoo and that of corrupt politicians. With a foreword by Xavier Maumejean. "A great horror novel in the tradition of Graham Masterton, with a touch of Poppy Z. Brite and Ann Rice." Charlotte Bousquet.
