Summary

Dave Robicheaux and his ex-partner head to Montana for a break. But they are soon dragged in to an investigation into the deaths of a couple of hikers, which suggests that a serial killer may be at work, while an escaped jailbird and his former tormentor are locked in a battle that is connected to a terrible family secret.

Vintage James Lee Burke

Which, if you're no fan of his is hardly a recommendation! The story is gripping with wonderfully colorful characters. Clete Purcell must be one of the most outrageous creations in modern detective fiction. Burke's use of language - OTT at times - is second to none and Montana like Lousiana, the more frequent venue for his novels about Dave Robicheaux, just leaps off the page. The narrator cannot be faulted. If you listen you'll become addicted!

Swan Peak, by Lee J Burke

I'm already a fan of JLB, this novel is right up there, I could not stop listening to it. Will Patton is the only one who I've heard that can really put these novels over, in this one he excels, as does the author. The voices and the characters are so...
I found myself laughing out load, and also shedding a tear. Great story lines and all cleverly brought together at various points.
Great book.

Top class thriller.

JLB never let's me down and this story set in Montana is one of his best. A storyline that can chill you to the core and equally the odd characters can make you laugh or cry. A classic.

Brilliant as usual

I love the storys and I love the narration. A brilliant bang bang shoot em up with some lovely pros. Entertainment and food for thought by both Author and narrative.

Burke at his brilliant best

Burke is brilliant, Patton is terrific, and Robicheaux and Purcell are wonderful. Another dark triumph from the king of hard-boiled crime.

Sorry but really dull

Really took effort to finish this. if it wasn't for the great narrator,I would have given up after the first few chapters. Could have been much shorter to keep the interesting aspects of the story together

Another classic James Lee Burke story

Beautiful and lyrical writing. Believable characters and rich storytelling. Each Robicheaux book that I've read, has not disappointed.
