Out today! And I can't wait to get into this one.
Dave Robicheaux is back, in a gorgeously written, visceral thriller by James
Lee Burke, “the heavy weight champ, a great American novelist whose work, taken
individually or as a whole, is unsurpassed” (Michael Connelly).
Creole Belle begins where the last book in the Dave Robicheaux series,
The Glass Rainbow, ended. Dave is in a recovery unit in New
Orleans, where a Creole girl named Tee Jolie Melton visits him and leaves him an
iPod with the country blues song “Creole Belle” on it. Then she disappears. Dave
becomes obsessed with the song and the memory of Tee Jolie and goes in search of
her sister, who later turns up inside a block of ice floating in the Gulf.
Meanwhile, there has been an oil well blowout on the Gulf, threatening the
cherished environs of the bayous.
Creole Belle is James Lee Burke at his very best, with beloved
series hero Dave Robicheaux leading the charge against the destruction of both
the land and the people he has sworn to protect.
