I've read all in the Dave Robicheau series, and I think this was my favorite. Dave, a Louisiana cop, was just a boy when his mother ran out on him and his drunken father. He has always been haunted by her desertion and death. In this novel, he sets out to investigate his mother's death, finds out she was murdered, and goes on a mission to find her killers.


Reserved for release at the BC meetup today.

Caught at the Meet-Up - your description of the book convinced me to give it a try - thanks, nancyluvsbooks!

Finished this last night - not a book I would have normally read but I'm glad I did. Thought the story-line was very compelling and although Dave is very obviously a man with a lot of character flaws, you kind of grew to like him somewhat. A well-written book. My main criticism is that for me it was a little more graphically violent than I like - I was a little leary of reading it too close to bedtime!

Thanks for sharing it nancy - it will be passed on.

RELEASE NOTES:

Meet-Up release

Found it yesterday at Bellamy's. James Lee Burke is one of my favorite authors and, somehow, I had missed this particular one. So, this was really a special treat for me. Thanks Nancy!

Just finished this book and enjoyed it very much. Hope someone in this building will find it, read it, and pass it along to someone else to enjoy.
