Sydney Blanchard was born under a lucky star, but nothing really happened in his life except a prison term for murders he did not commit; now, at the wheel of a white Lincoln, this irascible loudmouth decides to go back to New Orleans to reclaim his destiny. After the murders of 1989, Pearl Watanabe swore never to set foot on the American continent again, yet here she is on holiday near Atlanta at her daughter's home. An hour's drive away, Ray Ryan cannot get over the murder of his child, and the authoritarian voice of God has never left him. The killer's execution is near: at the Charlestown penitentiary, Smokey Nelson is living his last days.
