New edition of award-winner James Lee Burke's powerful crime novel set against the backdrop of Hurricane Katrina and its devastating effects on New Orleans.
'His most gripping thriller to date.' Mirror
Hurricane Katrina has transformed New Orleans into a violent wasteland. Criminals capitalise on the devastation as survivors wait for help that never comes.
David Robicheaux - his city in ruins -- is tasked with investigating the murder of a pair of looters: is it a simple case of 'stand-your-ground', or something altogether darker? The dead men's accomplice holds the key but he has disappeared to escape the people hunting him.
As Robicheaux uncovers a brutal catalogue of greed, torture and murder, his own family is threatened, and the ravaged city provides the perfect stage for a final confrontation between good and evil.
'A beautifully written howl of rage.' Time Out
