Journalist and spy novelist Jim Blake takes an assignment for Harper's Weekly that puts him on a train to New Orleans, where congressional candidate James Claiborne Blake is being targeted by enemies who threaten to reveal that there is a glamorous Creole courtesan in his past. But in New Orleans, a sexual indiscretion is not enough to ruin a politician. That would require murder. When one of Clay's supporters is found murdered, Jim Blake sets out to clear the candidate's name. A dangerous mission in a city that comes alive at night, where rumor can be as deadly as poison.
