Description

Vietnam vet Dave Robicheaux has turned in his detective's badge, is winning his battle against booze, and has left New Orleans together with his spouse for the relaxing beauty of Louisiana's bayous. But a plane accident to the Beach provides a woman into his life -- and with her comes a netherworld of murder, fraud, and homegrown offense. Abruptly Robicheaux is facing Bubba Rocque, a hood he's known since childhood; Rocque's starving Cajun spouse; and a federal representative with increased guts than sense. In a backwater planet in which a weapon and a sway get more than what the law states, Robicheaux and those he loves are captured on the wave of abuse significantly larger than all of them,.
