Product Description
Product Description
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.

This film and book got me into the Dave Robicheux books, I'm now working my way through all from the first one. There is also another much earlier film "Heaven's Prisoners".
Very well written, lots great background descriptions of New Orleans and South Louisiana, strong plots, well structured. Gave me an interest in the area to the extent that I visited it myself on a trip from London England.

I love James Lee Burke "Dave Robicheaux" novels and this is one of my favourites. Mr Burke's wonderful descriptions always made me want to see his towns and cities in Louisiana he so obviously loves and I would like to have seen it before the hurricane; always seemed to me if you didn't like Dave Robicheaux you would like where he lived and loved.

Crime or fantasy?

This is a bit of a stretch for someone not wedded to fantasy. Nevertheless a good page turner to fill an idle hour or two.
