The 8th Dave Robicheaux novel from SUNDAY TIMES bestselling and award-winning author James Lee Burke.
Sonny Boy Marsallas, a New Orleans street hustler, entrusts Detective Dave Robicheaux with a mysterious notebook, kicking off a series of violent incidents and raising questions that need answers, and fast...
What did Sonny's girlfriend know that got her murdered? Why is Sonny known as Red Angel by Central American guerrillas? And what do the Mafia want with a desolate stretch of New Iberia? This time Sonny Boy may have pushed his luck with the Giacano family one deal too far.
A rich, sardonic and terrifying portrayal of contemporary America with a setting which is as charged as an electric storm.
