Good stuff on dealing with alcohol addiction, and on the structure of violence. (  ) Darrol | Jul 3, 2009 |  Burke's second Robicheaux novel. i am reading them from the beginning of the series after reading Crusader's Cross. He is a bit more self-destructive on one hand then Travis McGee but on the other hand he has his feet more firmly planted on the ground. I also have flash backs to my time in south Louisiana when I read these novels. A good well written book. (  ) JBreedlove | Dec 31, 1969 |  no reviews | add a review

Vietnam vet Dave Robicheaux has turned in his detective's badge, is winning his battle against booze, and has left New Orleans with his wife for the tranquil beauty of Louisiana's bayous. But a plane crash on the Gulf brings a young girl into his life -- and with her comes a netherworld of murder, deception, and homegrown crime. Suddenly Robicheaux is confronting Bubba Rocque, a brutal hood he's known since childhood; Rocque's hungry Cajun wife; and a federal agent with more guts than sense. In a backwater world where a swagger and a gun go further than the law, Robicheaux and those he loves are caught on a tide of violence far bigger than them all....
