Uncover the secrets of the French Quarter with Eric Wilder's Thrilling New Mystery.

Night People, the 14th book in Eric Wilder’s acclaimed French Quarter Mystery Series, will be released on February 16, 2025, drawing readers into another gripping tale of intrigue, voodoo, and supernatural suspense. Published by Gondwana Press, this 334-page novel (ISBN 978-1-946576-22-4) continues the adventures of French Quarter private investigator Wyatt Thomas as he delves into the heart of New Orleans' most enigmatic mysteries.

 

In Night People, Wyatt Thomas is approached by his longtime friend Eddie Toledo with a desperate plea to find his missing niece, Eliza. The only clue Wyatt has is a canceled one-way AMTRAK ticket to New Orleans with the name of a French Quarter botanica—La Porte Mystique—scribbled on it.

 

As Wyatt begins his search, he is plunged into a labyrinth of danger and dark secrets. Along the way, he encounters:

 

Voodoo rituals that blur the line between life and death.

A disappearing house on Bourbon Street.

A sinister group of 300-year-old vampires exiled from Louis XIV’s court.

A mysterious alternate realm known as the In-Between, a parallel French Quarter where the rules of reality don’t apply.

Wyatt learns shocking revelations about his past in La Grotte de la Vérité (The Grotto of Truth).

Eric Wilder masterfully weaves the vibrant culture and rich history of New Orleans with supernatural elements, creating a story that is as atmospheric as it is thrilling. Fans of his previous novels will relish the return to the French Quarter’s smoky bars, haunted streets, and shadowy secrets. New readers will be hooked by Wilder’s signature blend of mystery, action, and the mystical.
