Publisher Notes

Haunted by the mother he never knew, Dave Robicheaux is stunned when a chance meeting reveals that his mother had been murdered by a New Orleans police officer, a discovery that has him searching for the killer.

Media Reviews

"[A] great mystery series can be something akin to a nineteenth century novel--a luxuriant experience that allows readers to live with a character over years. It's tempting to view James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux series....as if it were one vast novel with installments still to come, a way to grant the reader's wish that a favorite book never end."
