About this listen

The third highly acclaimed novel in the Dave Robicheaux series, and winner of the Edgar award.

Personal tragedy has left Dave Robicheaux close to the edge. Battling against his old addiction to alcohol and haunted nightly by vivid dreams and visitations, Dave finds his only tranquillity at home with his young ward, Alafair. But even this fragile peace is shattered by the arrival of Dixie Lee Pugh who brings with him a brutal trail of murder and violence.

Robicheaux reluctantly agrees to help out his old friend but becomes more involved than he bargained for when he finds himself suspect number one in the series of bloody killings. Forced to leave his home, Robicheaux's precarious existence reaches breaking point when Alafair's life is threatened.

Mostly Brilliant

Great narration. The usual genius writing you’d expect from Lee Burke and gritty characters well portrayed. Enjoyed this a lot. A bit too descriptive at times, I felt could be drawn out and interfered with the flow of the story, but only in a mild sense.
