A parish minister is callously murdered by corrupt local authorities. A generation later, his grown son finds himself unexpectedly caught up in the murderous paranoia of one of the killers. Meeting an attractive, spirit filled young woman, the son, Daniel Trahan and his friend Rachel Breland, race against time to avoid the evil designs of the killer, as a deadly hurricane bears down on their south Louisiana parish. "Murder in the Marsh" is a fast paced story of murder and it's attempted cover-up, as well as a realistic account of the terrible destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina on a small, coastal Louisiana town.
