The shocking death of a young woman leads Detective Dave Robicheaux into the dark corners of Hollywood, the mafia, and the backwoods of Louisiana in this gripping mystery from â€œmodern masterâ€ (Publishers Weekly) James Lee Burke.

Detective Dave Robicheauxâ€™s world isnâ€™t filled with too many happy stories, but Desmond Cormierâ€™s rags-to-riches tale is certainly one of them. Robicheaux first met Cormier on the streets of New Orleans, when the young, undersized boy had foolish dreams of becoming a Hollywood director.

Twenty-five years later, when Robicheaux knocks on Cormierâ€™s door, it isnâ€™t to congratulate him on his Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations. Robicheaux has discovered the body of a young woman whoâ€™s been crucified, wearing only a small chain on her ankle. She disappeared near Cormierâ€™s Cyrpemort Point estate, and Robicheaux, along with young deputy, Sean McClain, are looking for answers. Neither Cormier nor his enigmatic actor friend Antoine Butterworth are saying much, but Robicheaux knows better.

As always, Clete Purcel and Daveâ€™s daughter, Alafair, have Robicheauxâ€™s back. Clete witnesses the escape of Texas inmate, Hugo Tillinger, who may hold the key to Robicheauxâ€™s case. As they wade further into the investigation, they end up in the crosshairs of the mob, the deranged Chester Wimple, and the dark ghosts Robicheaux has been running from for years. Ultimately, itâ€™s up to Robicheaux to stop them all, but heâ€™ll have to summon a light heâ€™s never seen or felt to save himself, and those he loves.

Stephen King hailed New York Times bestselling author James Lee Burke â€œas good as he ever was.â€ Now, with The New Iberia Blues, Burke proves that he â€œremains the heavyweight champ, a great American novelist whose work, taken individually or as a whole, is unsurpassedâ€ (Michael Connelly).
