James Lee Burke is a top author, but after 20 or 30 novels, his books are starting to sound a lot alike - chilling and sociopathic villains, driven and haunted protagonists, lots of people putting each other down verbally and physically. When I say there was maybe a little more violence than necessary to carry the story, consider that I spent 21 years in the military and am not easily put off by "bllod and guts". Enteretaining and still has a way with words, bur I found myself flipping to the end to check the page count several times. I usually do that when I've had about enough and am wondering how much there is left to finish.
