Karen Whitlaw has just buried her mother, and can count the number of times she has seen her father on her hands. So, she’s shocked when she receives a package containing an old notebook from him and she’s angry when she sees that the package is addressed to her dead mother. Still angry, Karen throws the notebook in a box of her mother’s things without reading it, and has it put into storage along with the rest of her mother’s belongings. She forgets all about the notebook, and still forgets weeks later when her father turns up murdered in the streets of New Orleans. When Karen goes to New Orleans indentify her father’s body, she meets Marc Chastain, the detective who worked her father’s homicide. From him, she learns that the police believe her father’s murder was just the result of street violence, and they‘ve already stopped working the case. After burying her father, she returns home.
Upon her return, Karen discovers that her old house has been burned down, not long after someone breaks into her apartment, and then someone tries to run her over. Karen can help but wonder think someone is trying to kill her, and wonder if it has anything to do with her father. Terrified, she heads back to New Orleans and back to the detective, in the hope of stopping whatever was going on and of finding out what really happened to her father.
