The Kindness Of Strangers

Description for THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS by Julie Smith:

On temporary leave of absence from the force, Police Detective Skip Langdon becomes obsessed with exposing the frightening figure beneath the good-guy image of Errol Jacomine -- a liberal-minded, civic-spirited preacher who is running for mayor of New Orleans.

Immediately, an anonymous army of hatchet men go to work on Skip, who learns that opposing Jacomine is dangerous business. And when the only witness to the preacher's crimes turns up dead, Skip follows her instincts to the dark center of bayou country ... where dead cops tell no tales.
