Echoes of Mercy

Plot

"It is New Orleans in the 1920's, and Del Dubois, a black jazz pianist, finds himself a victim to the corruption and prejudice of the city. Arrested and charged with murder, he turns for help to Meg Wagstaff, his San Francisco childhood friend who has returned from war-torn Europe of World War I. Meg goes to New Orleans to prove Del's innocence. She is confronted by Gabe St. Clair, a New Orleans native and member of a respected and prominent family, who is the city attorney and confident of Del's guilt. In this dramatic conclusion to the Blessed Assurance trilogy, all three--Meg, Del and Gabriel--carry secret pain from the War. They all face Prohibition-era lawlessness, racial prejudice and the disillusionment of lost hope. Can God's light lead them back to Him?"--Back cover.
