Book Description:
Hollywood has sent its emissaries to New Iberia Parish to film a Civil War epic in the steaming mists of the Louisiana bayou -- reawakening the ghosts of a past best left undisturbed.
The restless specters wait in the shadows for cajun cop Dave Robicheaux -- as he hunts a serial butcher who is preying on the less-then-innocent young. For these spirits are the guardians of Robicheaux's darkest torments -- and they hold the key to his ultimate salvation...or a final, fatal downfall.

The novel is set in Louisiana, where a serial killer is loose and a movie is being filmed. The story is rich in subplots and regional atmosphere. Misty bayou scenes in which images of life in the past and present mingle. "A fine example of noir fiction."

If you love Louisiana, suspense, the civil war re-enactments or history you will love this authors book. I couldn't put it down and it stayed with me even when I had to.

I think this is one of the best in this series--evocative, descriptive, and some wonderful twists.

I love James Lee Burke's books!! Only letting this one go because my husband bought me a duplicate-didn't look in my bookcase first!
It is in the Dave Robicheaux series set in Louisiana, about a serial killer involved with a movie company shooting on location in New Orleans

Steve E. (This is the first book I've read from Mr. Burke but it probably won't be the last. I found In the Electric Mist to be a very satisfying atmospheric thriller. Burke clearly loves New Orleans but doesn't hesitate to show the dark side of the Big Easy along with the beauty.
