I just recently discovered Burke. He moved immediately into my top 10 authors. His books are a combination of winning characters and settings, great plots, and a combination of violence and near poetry. I rank this as a five star book, something that I don't think I've done since I jointed PBS. After many successes with books set in Louisana, this is the start of a new series further west (in this case, Texas). Billy Bob Holland is as compelling a protagonist as Dave Robicheaux in the earlier novels.
