This book, while not the first in the series, is the one where Dave rescues the little girl who will become his adopted daughter, and I consider it the true foundation for the rest of the series. ( ) Dave Robicheaux ha devuelto su placa de policÃa, ha dejado Nueva Orleans y no es más que un detective retirado en la tranquila Luisiana. AllÃ, con la ayuda de su mujer, está logrando superar la pesadilla de la guerra de Vietnam y vencer su adicción al alcohol. Pero un dÃa, un avión se estrella en las aguas del golfo y él presencia el accidente. Logra salvar con vida a una niña, a quien decide ocultar. El motivo es que todos los ocupantes del avión accidentado, que han fallecido, eran ilegales, y Robicheaux y su esposa no están dispuestos a entregar a la pequeña a las autoridades. Sin embargo, el detective muy pronto descubrirá que no solo los agentes de inmigración están interesados en la misteriosa jovencita. I ran across an article about James Lee Burke. I wanted to read what all the fuss was about. Well-rounded characters speaking dialogue so crisp it doesn’t need tags. Really incredible lines lesser writers would come across as hokey or out-of-place like, “…curled inside a wooden box of your own pain….†Admittedly, this novel may be a little dated by modern standards. His ability to transport the reader into the setting is second to none in my opinion. I understand the fuss; very impressive and well worth the reader's time. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:James Lee Burke's second Robicheaux novel takes the detective out of New Orleans and into the bayou as he seeks a quieter life. 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 lifeâ??and with her comes a netherworld of murder, deception, and homegrown 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 Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
