The Secrets of Newberry:

Victor McGlothin weaves an intricate tale about the bonds of family, the high price of deception—and murder. Hustlers Ivory “Bones” Arcineaux and Julian Bynote are living the high life in 1950s New Orleans, with all the fine women, good food and hot nights two men can possibly handle. Julian especially seems to have it all when he meets the beautiful, classy Magnolia Garbo. But when one of their simple robberies goes wrong and Julian bears witness to Bones murdering a man in cold blood, a white councilman no less—it could mean the end of life as they know it. Now with the police hot on their trail, Julian must decide whether rolling in the fast lane is worth losing his freedom, maybe even his life—and the only woman he ever loved.
