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.
"My Juliet lives up to the shining promise of his brilliant first novel Tupelo Nights. [It] is a dazzling virtuoso performance."
--Harry Crews, author of A Feast of Snakes
"A tale as torrid and enticingly dangerous as the back alleys of New Orleans."
--Scott Anderson, author of The Man Who Tried to Save the World
