I was searching for flamingo yard art after reading about it in TIME magazine. This book title came up. I researched James Lee Burke and as a result of reviews purchased all his books on eBay and Amazon. I am now a real fan of Burke. What a great writer. I have read 6 of his more than 25 novels. He is still writing at 72. He has won several Edgar writing awards.
This book is a real page-turner. It is one of Burke's early Dave Robicheaux novels and is one of his finest. I have read most, if not all of his novels. His descriptive writing in this book does not disappoint. All the characters are here--an evil and very threatening villan, and, of couse, Clete Purcel, who is at his most irreverent and roughhouse best. I highly recommend this book.
Just another great J L Burke book.
