Kip Montet, a detective cowboy in the rice fields of Southwest Louisiana, finds a sliver of light as he searches for the killer of his murdered daughter. Abject and distraught, the power of his daughter's love leads Kip away from the demons of her death, and into the Sound of Southern Rainbows. There's a serial killer in Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, and Kip's daughter is among the latest victims. Kip feels that her soul is lingering: clinging to the corporeal world-unable to move on to her heavenly existence until the murder is solved. Kip's marriage slips away with the obsessive demands of the investigation. He scours his notes by the moon and his soul by the bottle: neither offer his heart reprieve. As Kip questions the eccentric characters of the town, an Atakapa traiteur reveals the crime's malevolent origins. His paternal martyrdom is sealed as he places the salvation of his daughter's soul above his own-the path to her killer leading to un-heavenly gods. "The Sound of Southern Rainbows" is a novel exploration of the soul in a rice-field landscape untarnished by the stroke of a pen. The genre can be most accurately described as Southern Gothic.
