      About This Book

      From the New York Times bestselling author James Lee Burke comes another brilliant Dave Robicheaux novel featuring the Louisiana detective in a race to solve a murder before more blood is shed.

      The Fontenot family has lived as sharecroppers on Bertrand land for as long as anyone can remember. So why are they now being forced from their homes? And what does the murder of Della Landry—the girlfriend of New Orleans fixer Sonny Boy Marsallus—have to do with it?

      Marsallus's secrets seem tied to those of the Fontenots. But can Detective Dave Robicheaux make sense of it all before more bodies drop? In James Lee Burke's intense and powerful crime novel, Robicheaux digs deep into the bad blood and dirty secrets of Louisiana's past—while confronting a ragtag alliance of local mobsters and a hired assassin.

      In the suspenseful series that continues to be both a critical and popular success, Burning Angel will keep you glued to the pages until the ­­­breathtaking finale.
