James Lee Burke is, for my money, the best mystery author in print. His writing style is flawless. He describes Louisiana like no one else can. His characters are very human and flawed, and the plots develop with surprising twists and turns. His main character, Dave Robicheaux is a complicated policeman with a complicated life. The series can be read in any order, but they should be read by anyone who can appreciate a really good book by a really great writer. - Carol Maske

James Lee Burke at the top of his form, says Tony Hillerman--and I agree.

Burke does it again. A Dave Robiceaux mystery one of Burke's usual tour de force into the depths of the soul.
One of Burke's best novels.
Dave Robicheaux series... set in New Orleans, suspenseful, intense, basic good mystery.
Love James Lee Burke!

More great writing from James Lee Burke. He makes you feel almost as if you are there.
There are few writers that can completely mesmerize the reader with prose like Burke. His novels are a tactile treat and his treatment of character a lesson in perfection. If you have never read him, prepare yourself to be swept away...
It's out there, under the salt of the Gulf of Mexico, off the Louisiana coast-a buried Nazi submarine. Detective Dave Robicheaux of the New Iberia Sheriff's office has know of its existence since childhood, when he was terrified by nightmares of the evil Nazi sailors just offshore. Then, as a teenager, he stumbled upon the sunken sub while scuba diving - but for years he kept the secret of its watery grave.
JAMES LEE BURKE--A ROBICHEAUX MYSTERY
Another terrific read!
