Book Description
Sheryl J. Bize-Boutte's first novel about Louisiana's fictional Tassin Valley and the bayou town of the same name begins in 1854, where the ruling Tassin family's own peculiar version of code noir is strictly enforced, and the rich harvests are from soil thought to be magical. On the surface, the unique Tassin culture seems to promote a fairness acceptable for the times. That is until a newly widowed young man from Paris arrives in town with his infant daughter, setting off a twenty-eight-year chain of events that reveal the brutal truths of inequality, colorism and betrayal. A fast paced, page turning read, the people and the valley and town of Tassin will keep you on the brink until the end.

In the pitch black warehouse the four officers fears escalated tenfold as they fumbled through the dark, stumbled over tables and chairs, and commanded each other to stay close. Miyuki and Minatsu saw their every move through their Israeli made night vision goggles and didn't vacillate on the first two to kill. Picking out their prey like a lioness does a lagging gazelle, they quickly weaved through the dark. Minatsu struck first slicing through the air until her razor sharp Samurai sword connected with flesh and beheading her foe. Seconds later Miyuki followed, slicing through the lanky cop as if he were paper thin. No time was given to the remaining two, death was forthcoming and swift. Calm and chaotically seductive...beautiful, and then there were none. The Red Dragon Twins retreated, once again as myths into the awaiting night.
