About this listen

Sweet Pea Chaisson has parked his pink Cadillac convertible full of hookers in the parking lot of a convenience store in Spanish Lake, Louisiana. He’s causing a commotion, but not because of the car or the women—his mother’s coffin is sticking out of the trunk.

Welcome again to the world of Dave Robicheaux, the Bayou cop who works murder cases and a 12-step program with a unique mixture of gentleness and suppressed rage. On his beat in Iberia Parrish, ancient burial sites, a Vietnam war diary, an old affair, and a street hustler are stirring up trouble. Dave needs to solve these overlapping puzzles, or he’ll end up without a job—or his life.

Edgar Award-winning author James Lee Burke twines threads of the past and present to create unforgettable visions and characters.

I listened to the audiobook. James Lee Burke is in a different class from most of the crime writers that I have read or followed. Like Raymond Chandler, plot is not the most important part of his books. Characters are brought to life as is the south Louisiana landscape in which the novels are set. This particular story was enjoyable and in turn moving and thought provoking. I enjoyed the writing and story and was sad when the book finished.
