"America's best novelist" James Lee Burke returns with another
bestselling entry in the Dave Robicheaux thriller series (
).
Set against the events of the Gulf Coast oil spill, rife with "the menaces of greed and violence and man-made horror" (
),
finds Dave Robicheaux languishing in a New Orleans recovery unit since surviving a bayou shoot-out. The detective's body is healing; it's his morphine-addled mind that conjures spectral visions of Tee Jolie Melton, a young woman who in reality has gone missing. An iPod with an old blues song left by his bedside turns Robicheaux into a man obsessed...And as oil companies assign blame after an epic disaster threatens the Gulf's very existence, Robicheaux unearths connections between tragedies both global and personal - and faces down forces that can corrupt and destroy the best of men.
