Dave Robicheaux is a haunted man. Between his recurrent nightmares, his thoughts drift from one irreconcilable memory to the next. During a murder investigation, Dave Robicheaux discovers he may have committed the homicide he's investigating, one which involved the death of the man who took the life of Dave's beloved wife. As he works to clear his name, Robicheaux encounters a cast of characters and a resurgence of dark social forces that threaten to destroy all of those whom he loves.

The 21st outing for Dave and Clete and it's a corker with incredibly rich characters and wonderful evocations of times gone by in a lost paradise. Against this lush background are some terrific villains and the spectacularly creepy 'Smiley'. What a character!
Dave clearly feels 'time's winged chariot hurrying near' but I hope he's got enough puff left in him for further adventures as nothing compares to this series for literary crime fiction of the highest order.

Thrilled to see a new Robicheaux on the block. Usual suspects, either real or imaginary. Greatly relieved by the absence of Cletus' ghastly daughter, and minimal outing of Alafair.
But why...oh , but that's a plot spoiler ......see what you think ;)!

As often the case with James Lee Burke a fairly unbelievable storyline is transformed into a gripping drama ,fundamental to this is an outstanding narration. An incredibly unlikely narrative is secondary to outstanding dialogue and beautiful description.

Terrific performance

The most underrated storyteller of the last 50 years or sp. Listen and enter his world.

A different, darker more melancholic Robicheaux...

I was unconvinced by Dave and Clete's previous outing but this was perfect. All the dark poetry and beautiful imagery, the flawed good guys, the mixed up bad guys. JLB back to his best.

Classic. A return to form
