Ute i dypet finnes de, likene av de tyske ubåtmannskapene som under annen verdenskrig lå ved munningen av Mississippi og ventet på amerikanske oljetankere. Som barn hadde førstebetjent Dave Robicheaux mareritt om de døde sjøfolkene. Som student kom han tilfeldigvis over vraket av en av båtene mens han dykket. Det er denne hendelsen som mange år senere – i et New Orleans på vei mot tusenårsriket – setter både hans og andres liv i fare. Hvorfor er en jødisk organisasjon og en dreven skurk fra det irske miljøet interessert i båten? Hvor kommer den italienske mafiaen inn i bildet.

Sonnier-familien har en mørk og dyster bakgrunn, og Dave Robicheaux kjenner de fleste av hemmelighetene deres. Men selv han blir rystet når fortidens mudder kommer opp til overflaten, forlengst tilbaketrengte demoner blir synlige igjen, og vold og drap med økende hyppighet oppsøker de tre Sonnier-søsknene, som han har kjent fra de var barn. Det er en veritabel heksegryte Dave Robicheaux med velkjent stahet stikker hånden ned i, sterkere krydret enn i cajun-sjappene i New Orleans՚ bakgater, med ingredienser som CIA, gangstervelde og Ku Klux Klan.

Filmskuespilleren Elrod T. Sykes er – ifølge ham selv – i stand til å "se ting". Som liket av en afrikaner med en kjetting rundt kroppen. Og døde sørstatssoldater. Men hvem tar alvorlig en mann som påstår han har overnaturlige evner, når han er så full at han har problemer med å holde Cadillacen på veien? De blankslitte knoklene han finner i en bortgjemt sump, er likevel håndgripelige nok. Og cajunen Dave Robicheaux, førstebetjent ved sheriffkontoret i Iberia Parish, var øyenvitne da mannen med kjetting ble drept – lynsjet – i 1957.

Twelve tales of terror stemming from a single word. Trapped. What would you do if you were trapped, alone, and afraid, with no one to help, no way out? How far would you go to survive? What could you endure? The authors in this anthology pulled no punches, and the stories in this audio will leave a mark on you long after the tales are told. You may even find yourself trapped, held hostage, until every horrific word has been consumed.

Louisiana. Sumpigt och fuktigt. Gassande sol och häftiga värmeåskväder. Där de mest udda existenser uppehåller sig, där blod är tjockare än vatten. Här lever polismannen Dave Robicheaux med fru och dotter. Han känner sina hemtrakter väl och medlemmarna i familjen Sonnier. Deras förbindelser med CIA, maffian och Ku Klux Klan är inget han vill rota i. Men ett mordförsök och en död polis tvingar Dave in i en härva av galenskap, mord och incest, en värld där ondskan hotar att förgöra honom och dem han älskar mest av allt.
