In this story, Lousiana police detective Dave Robicheaux is searching for clues to solve the murders of two women. Are the two murders related? One of the prime suspects is Legion Guidry. Legion is an evil demon through and through. He is a former overseer on a plantation in southern Louisiana and has a shameful history. Burke does a wonderful job developing the character of Legion and other interesting players in the story. The other evil demon is Robicheaux's continuing struggle to beat alcholism. Robicheaux flirts briefly with addiction to ampehtamines in his own battle with the bottle. James Lee Burke does a great job of sharing the thoughts of the police detective with us. As always in his books, his descriptions of the Lousiana bayous are fabulous. You can really feel the humidity and hear the haunting sounds of the bayou. I think this book would make a great movie. It has it all--great setting, great plot, and memorable characters. A real five-star read. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition
