As may of Natchez, Mississppi, Penn Cage has a public duty to restore this fading jewel of the Old south, but like other Mississippi towns, Natchez has turned to casino gambling and is now home to five spectacular steamboats. There's one boat that isn't like the others: Magnolia Queen has found a way to pull the big players from Las Vegas - all of whom share a taste for blood sport and the vices that go with it. When a friend o Penn's who brings him evidence of these crimes is brutally murdered, Penn teams up with Caitlin Masters, the woman he loved and lost; Tom Cage, Penn's physician father, and other heroic allies. Can they defeat a killer who has almost a preternatural ability to anticipate - and counter - their every move?.
