Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen

Sommeren 1958. Dave Robicheaux og halvbroren Jimmie er akkurat ferdige med high school. Jimmie møter Ida Durbin som han blir hodestups forelsket i, men Ida er ei hore som tilhører en svært brutal mann. Jimmie og Ida planlegger å rømme til Mexico, men Ida kommer aldri til det avtalte møtestedet. Mange år senere besøker Dave en mann som ønsker å fri seg fra en mørk hemmelighet før han dør. Han har mye å bekjenne, men han velger å fortelle om en prostituert han såg et glimt av som barn. Han såg henne hos onkelen sin, blodig og forslått, og bundet til en stol. Dette er den 14. boka om Dave Robicheaux.

Omtale fra forlaget

America's most acclaimed crime writer returns to Louisiana with one of the best-loved detectives in fiction, Dave Robicheaux.In the summer of 1958, Dave Robicheaux and his half-brother Jimmie are just out of high school. Jimmie and Dave get work with an oil company, laying out rubber cables in the bays and mosquito-infested swamps all along the Louisiana-Texas coastline. But on the Fourth of July, change approaches in the form of Ida Durbin, a sweet-faced young woman with a lovely voice and a mandolin. Jimmie falls instantly in love with her. But Ida's not free to love - she's a prostitute, in hock to a brutal man called Kale. Jimmie agrees to meet Ida at the bus depot, ready for the road to Mexico. But Ida never shows.That was many years ago. Now, an older, well-worn Dave walks into Baptist Hospital to visit a man called Troy Bordelon, who wants to free himself of a dark secret before he dies. A bully and a sadist, he has a lot to confess to - but he chooses to talk about a young girl, a prostitute who he glimpsed briefly as a kid, bloodied and beaten, tied to a chair in his uncle's house.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.'
