My Juliet - by John Ed Bradley (Paperback)

About the Book

Juliet returns to New Orleans after her years as an "actress" in California, thinking that her mother is about to die and that she will inherit the family mansion. But discovering that she's been tricked, this most fatale of femmes once more sets out to seduce the damaged Sonny, who still can't resist her 15 years after she crushed his heart.

Book Synopsis

In his most enthralling novel since the acclaimed Tupelo Nights, John Ed Bradley tells a scorching story of sex and death in sultry New Orleans.

After years as an "actress" in California, Juliet Beauvais is drawn back to town with the promise of a big inheritance. But she finds her "dying" mother all too healthy and making other plans. Fortunately for Juliet, Sonny LaMott has been carrying a torch for her all these years, and he's easily lured into a scheme that's sure to get Juliet what she deserves. Twisted, gothically atmospheric, and replete with surprise, My Juliet is a deliciously dark and mordantly funny tale.
