Title: James Lee Burke
Review: This is the second new Dave Robicheaux novel in the last two years –after a ten year hiatus. Robicheaux pursues his demons like no one else…by my calculation he should be in his 80’s by now…but he and his sidekick, Clete Purcell, do not get any more mellow with age. Fighting evil in all its most extraordinary incarnations in the swamps and bayous of south Louisiana. One part mystery, one part AA big book and one part philosophical meanderings…these books are not just great mysteries, but great American literature. Burke, Robicheaux and Clete Rock!
