Book description
Introducing the New Orleans detective Dave Robicheaux.
Johnny Massina, a convicted murderer bound for the electric chair, has
warned Dave Robicheaux that he's on somebody's hit list, and now the
homicide detective is trying to discover just who that is before he ends
up dead.
Meanwhile he has taken on the murder investigation of a young black
girl found dead in the Bayou swamp - a case no one seems keen for him to
investigate. But Robicheaux persists and uncovers a web of corruption
that some would kill to protect, leading him to a terrifying
confrontation with the one horror he fears most of all. James Lee
Burke is the author of twenty-two previous novels, including twelve
featuring Detective Dave Robicheaux. He lives with his wife, Pearl, in
Missoula, Montana and New Iberia, Louisiana.
