Description

Wayne Lee Burke’s eagerly-awaited new book sees Detective Dave Robicheaux in New Iberia, Louisiana, and involved in the absolute most dangerous and traumatic case of his career. Eight ladies in nearby Jefferson Davis Parish have now been cruelly killed. As the offenses have all of the telltale signs of a serial-killer, the demise of Bernadette Latiolais, a higher school honor student, doesn’t match: she's not the type of marginalized and hapless target psychopaths often feed upon. Robicheaux and his closest friend, Clete Purcel, face Herman Stanga, a known break seller and pimp whom both men dislike.
