About this listen

A routine assignment transporting two death-row prisoners to their executions goes fatally wrong, leaving Dave Robicheaux brutally wounded and his partner dead.

Obsessed with revenge, Dave is persuaded by the DEA to go undercover into the torrid sleepy depths of New Orleans, a volatile world of Mafia drug-running and Cajun voodoo magic. He becomes irrevocably snarled in the nightmarish web surrounding Mafia don Tony Cardo and must put himself against his own worst fears in order to survive.

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

Highly enjoyable listen

This is, I think, my fourth JLB story - Lee is in my opinion an excellent story teller, and Dave Robichauex is a well developed character. Mark Hammer has a great voice and range of accents for this genre. I look forward to listening to more of this series.

Love these stories

My 3rd outing with Dave and it did not disappoint. The prose and the pace of these stories are sublime and whereas Will Patton is king of narration, Mark Hammer runs him a close second.
I will be following these books through, love them
