Loved this book!

Police detective Dave Robichaux in New Iberia, Louisiana doesn't buy the obvious solution to some vicious crime but keeps digging, even when lots of dangerous people want him to stop. His buddy Clete Purcel is on hand to watch his back and take up with a few lovely ladies while he's at it.

Legion Guidry is a scary character, the embodiment of evil, cold calculating truly sadistic evil.

Love the depictions of the backwoods blues clubs and deep country Louisiana settings.

A definite recommendation for a satisfying, colorful read.
