Voices of Elysian Fields is a multi-layered mystery of rare depth and intrigue. Michael Rigg has fashioned a beautifully crafted tale where each revelation uncovers not just secrets, but the very essence of human nature, weaving together complex characters, multiple plot-lines, and hidden motives to keep readers guessing until the final page. As vibrant and drenched in color as the city of New Orleans in which the book is set, this is a major debut.

—Jon Land, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

Atmospheric, suspenseful, and propulsive, Voices of the Elysian Fields is must-read, especially for readers who love mysteries set in the Big Easy. New Orleans coroner Jonathan Gray is a complex and deeply sympathetic protagonist haunted by a personal tragedy that instead of undoing him, propels him past doubts and indecision to fight corruption even when it endangers his life. Author Rigg’s passion for the Crescent City shines through every page as he balances both the beautiful and dark sides of America’s most unique city, creating a truly immersive experience for readers — one I eagerly look forward to revisiting in future novels featuring Coroner Gray and his compelling cast of coworkers.

—Ellen Byron, USA Today Best Selling & Agatha Award-Winning Author

“Rigg captures the mood, the atmosphere, the taste and smell of New Orleans and builds a suspenseful story from one of the few cops in the city who believes police are seriously meant to serve their community. Come visit the Big Easy and be prepared for some serious bumps along the way.”

—Don Bruns, USA Today bestselling author of the New Orleans-based Quentin Archer mysteries and editor and contributor, Bat Out of Hell
