About this listen

When Dave Robicheaux gets the call saying his ex-partner Clete Purcel is in jail for felony assault and resisting arrest, bailing him out is instinctive. After all, Clete is the man who saved Dave's life. But Clete's latest escapade isn't just worrying because it shows his demons are gaining the upper hand; it also brings some of those demons into Dave's life, in the most personal way possible...

one off the most compelling series of books I've read in a long while. Character's are excellent. atmosphere is superb, Will Patton is the perfect narrator, read the first in the series and was hooked. Read them all!

I have listened to several of this authors books and am impressed once again!
The story is gripping and fast moving and I have stayed up till the early hours to finish the book when I returned from my holiday. ( I ran out of beach time)

Awesome atmosphere

Discovering this author has been a revelation. Will Patton is a master and brings these books alive. I am on my third consecutive book by JLB, read by Will Patton and still feel mesmerised by the language, depth of detail and sense of place (Louisiana) of the series.

Incredible lyrical storytelling

This was on offer 6.99 down from 24.99, so I wasn't especially optimistic when I decided to get it, I mean if it's brilliant, why would it be so cheap? Well, what a joy, well written and well read. Recommended to all, especially those not afraid to cry!

Pleasant Surprise
