Dead Water by Barbara Hambly
In this gripping tale set in the vibrant yet treacherous world of 19th-century New Orleans, Benjamin January, a free man of color and skilled physician, finds himself embroiled in a dangerous investigation when a steamboat captain is murdered. As tensions rise amidst the backdrop of racial prejudice and societal unrest, January must navigate a labyrinth of secrets and lies to uncover the truth. With the Mississippi River as both a lifeline and a threat, he races against time to solve the mystery, all while confronting the haunting shadows of his past and the ever-present specter of injustice.
