About this listen

The sixth Dave Robicheaux novel from SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author James Lee Burke.

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.

Fans of Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly and Don Winslow will love James Lee Burke

I enjoyed the whole thing. The narration is excellent. A great series. Once I got the Robichaux bug I was hooked.

I love the slow burn and the rich descriptions that make you feel you’re actually there. The narration is first class and I hope I can get every book in this series
