About this listen

The sixth Dave Robicheaux novel from SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author James Lee Burke.

Hunting a sadistic killer who targets young prostitutes, Detective Dave Robicheaux has no mind to be sidetracked into persuading ex-schoolmate mobster Julie 'Baby Feet' Balboni to leave town. And it turns out that Balboni is the money behind a Civil War movie that's bringing in good business.

But then the film crew stumble on a skeleton out in the bayou, and the links between a thirty-year-old lynching, a Civil War general, Balboni and the serial killer lead Dave into treacherous waters, with only a handful of unexpected allies to help him protect his own.

Fans of Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly and Don Winslow will love James Lee Burke

I enjoyed the whole thing. The narration is excellent. A great series. Once I got the Robichaux bug I was hooked.

Not 100% sure why but these books just hold me enthralled.
I love the slow burn and the rich descriptions that make you feel you’re actually there. The narration is first class and I hope I can get every book in this series

Beautifully read and, as ever with JLB, an engrossing tale right to the end. His characters develop so much you feel you know them. Love, love, love.
