VOICES OF THE ELYSIAN FIELDS: IT'S HERE! by Michael Rigg

Finally. It seems like it took forever. But it's here. Voices of the Elysian Fields, my debut novel, published by Level Best Books, launches on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. The e-book version is on Amazon.com for preorder. Future availability and distribution of both the e-book and paperback will be forthcoming. 

Voices of the Elysian Fields is a medico-legal thriller. Two days before Christmas, Jonathan Gray, M. D., Chief Deputy Coroner for Orleans Parish, learns that Robby O’Malley—Jonathan’s mentor for nearly forty years—died under mysterious circumstances. Within hours, Gray takes the oath of office as Coroner and participates in autopsies of an elderly couple murdered in their Garden District home. After Mass on Christmas, Archbishop Phillip Fontenot asks Gray to investigate the sexual assault of a parishioners, as well as the disappearance of her sister—without involving the police. As Gray investigates, he uncovers secrets that members of the city’s power elite would just as soon remain hidden.

I plan to outline some lessons learned and experiences in future blog posts. For now, please order your copy of Voices of the Elysian Fields. And, feel free to nag your local library about adding Voices of the Elysian Fields to their collection. 

Enjoy. And, as always, laissez le bon temps rouler!

Michael Rigg’s Voices of the Elysian Fields sounds like a fascinating and timely release. The way you highlight themes and creative depth really draws readers in and makes them curious to explore the work themselves. Posts like this are especially helpful for students who are balancing heavy reading loads and critical analysis tasks. For those studying literature at university level, having access to thoughtful discussions like this, along with reliable uni assignment help, can make interpreting complex texts more engaging and less overwhelming.
