The Wolf at the Door

From the award-winning author of Where the Rainbow Ends and The Haunted Heart comes a witty tour de force of spirits, spooks, and sinners, a supernatural roller coaster set in the Big Easy that is giddy, soulful, and sentimental.Ghosts? Angels? Hallucinations?When a death occurs at Le Petite Paradis, a guesthouse in the French Quarter of New Orleans, the spirit world becomes unsettled, or so Avery Greene Dalyrymple III, the co-owner believes. The son and grandson of Southern evangelists, Avery is also an overworked and overwrought middle-aged gay man, a cynical "big-time drinker and sinner" fairly certain he can maintain a family of "other deviants and delinquents stumbling along Bourbon Street" to keep him company.But Avery is also the only person in contact with the spirit world on his property¿ghosts from the house¿s origins during the 1820s¿and he must use the history left behind from another ghost¿a gay man from the 1970s¿to find a way to restore peace to his household and rejuvenate his faith.
