Burke, James Lee Jolie Blon's Bounce
Pocket Star 2003 0-7434-1144-7 / 9780743411448 Paperback Very Good
Dave Robicheaux, the Louisiana cop who's easily one of the most complex an d compelling protagonists in mystery fiction, confronts his own demons as w ell as a brutal adversary who might be the devil himself in this dark thri ller. This is classic James Lee Burke, the master stylist, writing at the top of his game: "I wanted to drive deep into the Atchafalaya Swamp, past the confines of reason, into the past... on the tree-flooded alluvial rim of the world, where the tides and the course of the sun were the only meas ures of time (and) all you had to do was release yourself from the prison of restraint, just snip loose the stitches that sewed your skin to the hai rshirt of normalcy." The plot hinges on a pair of murders that don't see m to be connected--a mobbed-up prostitute and a pretty young teenage girl- -and the Cajun blues singer accused of both crimes. Robicheaux believes th at Tee Bobby Hulin, the gifted musician whose original composition provide s the title for this brilliantly realized Gothic crime novel, is innocent. Proving it puts him in the sights of a vicious old overseer named Legion, whose almost supernatural powers nearly drown Robicheaux in the swamp of his own addictions.

Simon & Schuster Adult Publi 2004 0-7434-6663-2 / 9780743466639 Paperback Very Good
Homicide detective Dave Robicheaux is pitted against a handsome, urbane war hero of a bad guy instead of the typical obscenely grotesque villain in th is latest installment of Burke's stellar series, set in New Iberia, La. It' s a shift in adversaries that forces Robicheaux to take a different tack th an his usual uncontrolled tilting at the windmills of elusive justice. As i n many of Burke's novels (A Stained White Radiance; In the Electric Mist wi th Confederate Dead), current felonies are tied to a crime from the past. H ere, Dave's friend Father Jimmie Dolan is being stalked by Irish hit man Ma x Coll; linked to this intrigue is the story of blues singer Junior Crudup, who entered the hell of Angola Penitentiary in the 1950s and was never hea rd from again. In present-day New Orleans, three teens die in a fiery crash after buying drinks at a drive-by daiquiri stand.
