Professional genealogist Nick Herald must rescue a Louisiana Indian tribe's future from a deadly past!
Big trouble plagues rural central Louisiana when the small tribe of nearly assimilated Katogoula Indians unexpectedly receives federal recognition. In a cruel irony, will good fortune mean the death of the tribe?
Spirits long ignored begin to haunt the pine forest. Outsiders pour into the isolated community. Tribal unity unravels. Someone—or something—is murdering tribe members!
Into this crisis comes Nick Herald, sleuth and professional genealogist from New Orleans. The tribe has hired him to help establish guidelines for membership, often a delicate task in which treasured heritage and large sums of money are at stake. Putting the newly recognized Katogoula Tribe on a firm foundation is just the sort of lucrative job that will allow Nick to pay his loyal, brilliant, wheelchair-using sidekick, Hawty Latimer, what she’s worth. But the lure of huge casino profits brings out the worst in everyone. Nick soon finds that he’s landed in the middle of a free-for-all involving other Louisiana tribes, crooked politicians, a powerful local family, mercenary gambling syndicates, and ruthless drug runners.
And what’s more, the family secrets of central Louisiana's piney woods are as deadly as the genealogical masquerades of New Orleans. Hidden forces want Nick off the case, dead or alive.
Stubborn sleuth that he is, Nick probes forbidden subjects to learn why tribal recognition is turning out to be not the expected jackpot, but a murderous disaster for the Katogoula. He scours family and tribal histories and calls on his knowledge of American Indian genealogy. Assisting him on the scene is an amateur ethnographer, a gorgeous woman Nick falls for, even though he questions her role in the deadly drama. Contemporary human plotters and undying genealogical demons assail the intrepid investigator as he digs up buried ancient malice in his quest to save the resurrected tribe.
Nick realizes that unless he stops the evil, his Katogoula friends and their storied ancestry face extinction, just as their dream of rebirth seems so close. He confronts an age-old fury that stalks the Katogoula Indians and threatens their very survival—and his!

I admit this book was not my favorite Nick Herald book. Nevertheless, it was still a rousing tale and definitely worth reading. The book dealt more with the Native American tribes in Louisiana than with our hero, Nick or his wonderful assistant Hawty. They seemed to take a back seat to the unfolding mystery instead of being in the driver's seat. Still always a pleasure to follow Nick Herald and his friends. Hope there will be more books to follow!Product details

Jackpot Blood A Nick Herald Genealogical Mystery edition by Jimmy Fox Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
A real page turner. Exciting mystery whether you're interested in genealogy or not.
Great context, complex genealogical story somehow made real and believable.
I love The fact that that is was based on Genealogy. Some times a little too wordy and too much description of rooms, people,etc.
Couldn't finish reading this book. It jumps around too much and I got frustrated.
When the Katagoula Tribe of Indians of Louisiana decide to open a casino, they decide to hire a genealogist to check the lineage of the tribe members. Of course they hire Nick Herald, and another exciting adventure begins.
The story of Louisiana tribes was interesting but I was disappointed that there really wasn't much genealogical research I could relate to.
It is so obvious that the author (Fox) really knows genealogy and the processes involved as well as the history and practice of the tribal/federal recognition process, tribal gaming and the tribal-federal/state government relationship(s). Fox expertly intertwined these historical facts/processes within the storyline to create a plot that holds you glued to the pages to the very end. You will find yourself invested not only in Nick Herald as a fallible human being yet expert genealogist, trying to uncover the reason for the murders, but, you will become invested in the people of this community and their history and how that history comes forward to affect their contemporary lives and relationships. An Excellent book!
