First edition. Limited edition of 16 lettered copies signed by the author. With an appreciation by Phil Rickman. Very fine in quarter leather with raised bands and marbled boards in transparent dust jacket. Summer, 2005, a storm peels the face off southern Louisiana. This is the gruesome reality Iberia Parish Sheriff's Detective Dave Robicheaux discovers as he is sent to New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina has left the commercial district and residential neighborhoods awash with looters and predators of every kind. The power grid of the city has been destroyed, New Orleans has been reduced to the level of a medieval society. There is no law, no order, no sanctuary for the infirm, the helpless, and the innocent. Bodies float in the streets and lie impaled on the branches of flooded trees. In the midst of all of this, Robicheaux must find two serial rapists, a morphine-addicted priest, and a vigilante who may be more dangerous than the criminals looting the city.
