About the Book

In 1992 New Orleans, the past refuses to stay buried. Twenty years after Detective Rodger Bergeron captured the infamous Bourbon Street Ripper, someone with intimate knowledge of the original murders is recreating them down to the smallest detail. Forced to partner with the Ripper’s granddaughter—a troubled mystery writer whose latest manuscript mysteriously predicts each killing—Bergeron must navigate the city’s criminal underworld while confronting demons from his past.

As the investigation plunges deeper into New Orleans’ shadowy heart, connections emerge to organized crime families, ancient occult practices, and a mysterious organization called the Knight Priory. With his analytical partner Michael LeBlanc and anxious bestselling author Richard Fastellos, the team uncovers a conspiracy decades in the making. But in a city where everyone wears masks and nothing is as it seems, identifying the killer may cost them everything.

From Louisiana native Leo King comes an atmospheric thriller where police procedural meets Southern Gothic horror. The Bourbon Street Ripper launches the complete Sins of the Father trilogy—a dark journey into generational trauma, redemption, and the price of confronting evil.
