Summary: James Lee Burke is Wonderful!!!
Comment: The back flap of the book says James Lee Burke is a master of the genre but he's more than that. He is a poet! He strings words together like no other writer. His books are so delicious that I could cover them in melted butter and eat them!
Rating: 5
Summary: READ THIS BOOK
Comment: If you have never read a novel by James Lee Burke, this is the one to start with. If you have read every one of his works (including the early rancher novels) read this one now. He really brings it all to this production. The descriptive prose sparkles, the plot develops with skillful ironic, situational twists of a master writer's mind, characters are fully realized yet harmonious with readers' previous knowledge of them. This is perhaps the grand summation of what Burke has been doing with Dave Robicheaux,; there is a maturity to the character that fills in those spaces that were once gnawed out of him by disappointment of youthful desires for justice. In a curious way, Dave could always see his own flaws more than those of other characters, perhaps that is the cross an alcoholic bears, but in this novel he is also aware of those of Clete, Helen and even the new character Fr. Jimmie Dolan. Especially interesting is Coll, the IRA gunman turned hitman who suffers from wounded conscience; what a great foil to the self serving oil plutocrat in the golf club who shares locker facilities with the workers. Having read everything of Burke's I could get my eyes on, it is my opinion that this is far and away his finest effort.
