About this listen

The second Dave Robicheaux novel from the award-winning crime writer.

Dave Robicheaux is trying to put a life of violence and crime behind him, leaving homicide to run a boat-rental business in Louisiana's bayou country. But one day while fishing in the Gulf with his wife Annie, he witnesses an event that will change his life forever.

A small two-engine plane suddenly crashes into the sea and Robicheaux dives down to the wreckage to find four bodies and one survivor; a little girl miraculously trapped in a pocket of air. When the authorities insist only three bodies were recovered from the plane, Robicheaux decides to investigate the mystery of the missing man.

Fans of Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly and Don Winslow will love James Lee Burke.

Critic reviews

"James Lee Burke is the heavyweight champ, a great American novelist whose work, taken individually or as a whole, is unsurpassed." (Michael Connelly)

"Richly deserves to be described now as one of the finest crime writers America has ever produced." (Daily Mail)

He’s not a barrel of laughs - but thankfully some of the the other characters help with that. The writing is exceptional in my opinion. It even makes me want to go to New Orleans.

Very good. Very dark.
