About this title

From the Back Cover:

Clutching the shards of his shattered life, Cajun detective Dave Robicheaux has rejoined the New lberia police force.

His partner is dead—slain during a condemned prisoner's bloody flight to freedom that left Robicheaux critically wounded . . . and reawakened the ghost of his haunted, violent past.

Now he's trailing a killer into the sordid heat of the Big Easy, caught up in the lethal undercurrents of a mob double-cross as he confronts his most dangerous enemy—himself . . .
