Descripción editorial
The eighteenth Detective Dave Robicheaux novel from the award-winning, Pulitzer nominated, James Lee Burke - 'one of the finest crime writers America has ever produced'
*******
When Detective Dave Robicheaux gets a call saying his ex-partner Clete Purcell is in jail for assault, bailing him out is instinctive. After all, Clete is the man who saved his life.
The man Clete assaulted is a suspect in a series of murders, but his involvement is hidden behind his work with a charity aimed at getting vulnerable women off the streets.
As Robicheaux investigates, he is confronted with the possibility that the murders will lead him to a place of absolute darkness and living evil, connected to the one person he will do anything to protect: his daughter...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
MWA Grand Master Burke offers everything his readers expect brilliant prose, prosaic situations that suddenly become mystic experiences, and a complex plot that repeatedly plumbs the depths of human depravity and the heights of nobility in his superlative 18th novel featuring Iberia, La., deputy sheriff Dave Robicheaux (after Swan Peak). Robicheaux finds himself dealing with adopted daughter Alafair's attraction to novelist Kermit Abelard of the degenerate Abelard clan (who echo Faulkner's Snopses), as well as trying to avenge the sadistic murders of two young women, aided by best friend Clete Purcel. Evil comes in many forms, from the psychotic interloper Vidor Perkins to Robert Weingart, a convict turned author, whom Kermit has championed. The sights, smells, and sounds of the Louisiana bayous become sensory experiences in Burke's novels, and death is a constant presence that threatens to overwhelm his angels with "tarnished wings."
