Voices of the Elysian Fields: A Jonathan Gray, M.D. Mystery

Two days before Christmas, Jonathan Gray, M. D., Chief Deputy Coroner for Orleans Parish, receives shocking news.

Robby O'Malley-Jonathan's mentor for nearly forty years-has died under mysterious circumstances. Within hours after Robby's death, Gray takes the oath of office as Coroner and participates in autopsies of an elderly couple murdered in their Garden District home. After mass on Christmas morning, Archbishop Phillip Fontenot asks Gray to investigate the sexual assault of one of his parishioners, as well as the disappearance of her sister-without involving the police.

As Jonathan winds his way through what appear to be separate incidents, he uncovers connections and secrets that members of the city's power elite would just as soon remain hidden.
