James Lee Burke is the author of many previous award-winning novels, many featuring Detective Dave Robicheaux. He lives with his wife in Missoula, Montana. www.jamesleeburke.com
James Lee Burke is the heavyweight champ, a great American novelist
whose work, taken individually or as a whole, is unsurpassed.
*Michael Connelly*
A gorgeous prose stylist.
*Stephen King*
Richly deserves to be described now as one of the finest crime
writers America has ever produced.
*Daily Mail*
The gentle giant of US crime writers, Burke always ensures that his
Louisiana detective Dave Robicheaux grapples with hot topics as
much as with his own inner demons.

There are not many crime writers about whom one might invoke the
name of Zola for comparison, but Burke is very much in that
territory. His stamping ground is the Gulf coast, and one of the
great strengths of his work has always been the atmospheric
background of New Orleans and the bayous. His big, baggy novels are
always about much more than the mechanics of the detective plot;
his real subject, like the French master, is the human condition,
seen in every situation of society.
*Independent*
The king of Southern noir.
*Daily Mirror*
His lyrical prose, his deep understanding of what makes people
behave as they do, and his control of plot and pace are
masterly.
*Sunday Telegraph*
One of the finest American writers.
*Guardian*
When it comes to literate, pungently characterised American crime
writing, James Lee Burke has few peers.
