The Mardi Gras Mystery is a mystery novel by author H. Bedford-Jones. Ever since the first ball of the year by the Twelfth Night Club, the Midnight Masquer, as he was termed, had held New Orleans gripped in terror, fascination, and vivid interest with his holdups and subsequent robbery of partygoers. Until a month previous to the week of Mardi Gras he had operated rarely; he had robbed with a stark and inelegant forcefulness, a brutality. Suddenly his methods changed—he appeared and transacted his business with a romantic courtesy, a daredevil gaiety; his robberies became bizarre and extraordinary. But the Midnight Masquer now fears that the wealthy lawyer and astute chess player, Jachin Fell might be on to him and he moves to protect his secret...
Reverie turns deadly when a secret society of New Orleans elites is infiltrated by a killer in this classic 1930s mystery. For years New Orleans has been enthralled by the secret society dedicated to Dis, Greek god of Inferno, whose membership of fifty is closely guarded from the press and whose rites burlesque the proud tradition of the city’s Mardi Gras festival. Lovely Cynthia Fontenay gives Dis a ball each year, with all members in attendance behind satanic masks and sinister robes of black and scarlet. When murder strikes this charmed circle, a shadow is cast over the city. Homicide detective Captain Murphy once again enlists the help of Wade, a New Orleans journalist, to confront an investigation of fifty suspects. As their smoldering motives become front page news, the Crescent City awaits the finale of this chilling carnival of a case.

One pair, a blond young man and a green-eyed glamour girl, have a row and break-up the party. The next day, Maggie is assigned to cover a suicide—the blond young man of the night before. Odd circumstances shroud his death and, even as the reporter tries to fit the puzzle together, the green-eyed Nita is found garroted in a patio in the French Quarter, just behind the home of the Pacellis, a poor Italian family.

When little Tina Pacelli is kidnapped, Maggie gets down to brass tacks and walks smack into trouble, and more murder.
