  <default_description> Hunting a sadistic killer who targets young prostitutes, Detective Dave Robicheaux has no mind to be sidetracked into persuading ex-schoolmate mobster Julie 'Baby Feet' Balboni to leave town. And it turns out that Balboni is the money behind a Civil War movie that's bringing in good business.  But then the film crew stumble on a skeleton out in the bayou, and the links between a thirty-year-old lynching, a Civil War general, Balboni and the serial killer lead Dave into treacherous waters, with only a handful of unexpected allies to help him protect his own. </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is from the crime/mystery/detection genre with a serialized narrator.  Within the genre, this is a cut above.  According to Kirkus Review: &quot;After outstanding success in the genre, Burke has produced a violent, somber, deeply satisfying crossover novel.&quot;]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm not really a big fan of 'police procedurals', but I really enjoyed this book.  Anyway, it's much more than a police mystery.  It's literary and layered and his language is beautiful and brutal at the same time.  I'll be reading more Burke.]]></body>

The heat and humidity are so thick you feel as if you're immersed in the bayou with the alligators!
