From Edgar Award-winner James Lee Burke comes this
emotional powerhouse of a novel ... in which everyman hero
Dave Robicheaux confronts the secrets of his long-
forgotten past in a shattering tale of revenge, murder,
and a mother's haunting legacy....
Robicheaux first
hears it from a pimp eager to trade information for his
life: Mae Guillory was murdered outside a New Orleans
nightclub by two cops. Dave Robicheaux was just a boy when
his mother ran out on him and his whiskey-driven father.
Now Robicheaux is a man, still haunted by her
desertion and her death. More than thirty-five years after
Mae Guillory died, her son will go to any length to bring
her killers to justice. And as he moves closer to what
happened that long-ago night, the Louisiana cop crosses
lines of color and class to find the place where secrets
of his past lie buried ... and where all roads lead to
revenge -- but only one road leads to the truth....
