Book Description:
HEAVEN'S PRISONERS-book Vietnam vet Dave Robicheaux has turned in his detective's badge, is winning his battle against booze, and has left New Orleans with his wife for the tranquil beauty of Louisiana's bayous. But a plane crash on the Gulf brings a young girl into his life -- and with her comes a netherworld of murder, deception and home-grown crime. Suddenly Robicheaux is confronting Bubba Rocque, a brutal hood he's known since childhood; Rocque's hungry Cajun wife; and a Federal agent with more guts than sense. In a backwater world where a swagger and a gun go further than the law, Robicheaux and those he loves are caught on a tide of violence far bigger than them all...

The 2nd Dave Robicheaux novel of this great series. I have never been to New Orleans, but I feel like I know it well, thanks to Mr. Burke.
James L. Burke tells a story in a style reminiscent of Elmore Leonard with some Dashiell Hammett thrown in. Just superb reading.
