Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen

Dave Robicheaux har sluttet å drikke for mange år siden. Han føler likevel stadig skyldfølelse for en hendelse han ikke klarte å forhindre fordi han var for full, nemlig da drikkekameraten hans, Dallas Klein, blei drept under et væpnet ran. To tiår seinere skjer det ei rekke ting som virker som om de er forbundet med det som hendte da Dallas blei drept. Først møter Dave Dallas' datter Trish, så virker det som om det påståtte selvmordet til ei ung kvinne har noe å gjøre med den mannen Dallas skyldte penger for over 20 år siden. Dave klarer ikke å la dette ligge, og det fører til at han blir involvert med to svært mektige kriminelle. Dette er den 15. boka om Dave Robicheaux.

Omtale fra forlaget

A superb Dave Robicheaux mystery from the multi award-winning crime writer.Dave Robicheaux left his drinking days behind him many years ago, but he still feels guilt over a tragic event he wasn't sober enough to prevent. Dallas Klein, a gambling addict and bar buddy of Dave's when Dave was posted to Miami PD, was killed in an armed robbery he'd been forced to engineer. Two decades later, several incidents in Dave's life in Iberia Parish link to those involved. First he meets Dallas' daughter, Trish, who keeps odd company and is blackballed by the local casinos. Then the supposed suicide of a young girl appears to be connected to the man Dallas owed money to back in the Miami days. Dave's inability to let things alone gets him involved with two very powerful criminals, both wanting to protect their sons from the trouble they court, and both with the attitude of the privileged and white. When a young black drug dealer gets on the wrong side of the boys, tensions run high and there are more needless deaths - causing Dave to come to blows with the FBI, the DA's office and a thug who has little regard for any life but his own.Praise for one of the great American crime writers, James Lee Burke:'James Lee Burke is the heavyweight champ, a great American novelist whose work, taken individually or as a whole, is unsurpassed.'
