Description
Summary:Vietnam vet Dave Robicheaux has turned in his detective<U+2019>s badge, is winning his battle against booze, and has left New Orleans with his wife for the tranquil beauty of Louisiana<U+2019>s bayous. But a plane crash on the Gulf brings a young girl into his life<U+2014>and with her comes a netherworld of murder, deception, and homegrown crime. Suddenly Robicheaux is confronting Bubba Rocque, a brutal hood he<U+2019>s known since childhood; Rocque<U+2019>s hungry Cajun wife; and a Federal agent with more guts than sense. In a backwater world where a swagger and a gun go further than the law, Robicheaux and those he loves are caught on a tide of violence far bigger than them all... - from goodreads.
