Burke turns from his highly regarded Dave Robicheaux series to tell the story of a songwriter/ex-con who leaves Louisiana to work out his parole term on the ranch owned by the father of a former cellmate. But the family's personal and local political problems land him right back in a world of violence, betrayal, and small-town feuds. Burke can write; the Orlando Sentinel called this a "bravura novel."
