‘When James Lee Burke writes, the little birdies sing, the sun comes out and old men learn to dance again. That’s how good he is. And now he’s back . . . Purple Cane Road may be the finest novel Burke has written’ INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY‘At times Burke’s writing and atmosphere remind one of William Faulkner; at other moments Raymond Carver. I cannot think of much higher praise that can be accorded a novel’ THE TIMES‘No crime writer in America can hold a pen to Burke’s mastery of style and powers of evocation and empathy’ GUARDIAN ‘PURPLE CANE ROAD is not only a brilliant mystery, with an astonishing denouement, but a moving evocation of nostalgia and pain set in a marvellously described location’ SCOTSMAN When Detective Dave Robicheaux discovers disturbing secrets from his mother’s past, he embarks on a journey through a murky world of vice, politics and murder.Robicheaux has been told that his mother, Mae, was a hooker and ended her life drowned in a mud puddle by two cops working for the Mob. As Robichaeux and his partner hunt for the killers, they hook up with a door-to-door salesman turned state governor, a psychotic hit-man, and the owner of the mansion at Purple Cane Road – who knows rather too much about Robichaeux’s wife . . .Praise for one of the great American crime writers, James Lee Burke:‘James Lee Burke is the heavyweight champ, a great American novelist whose work, taken individually or as a whole, is unsurpassed.’ Michael Connelly‘A gorgeous prose stylist.’ Stephen King‘Richly deserves to be described now as one of the finest crime writers America has ever produced.’ Daily MailFans of Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly and Don Winslow will love James Lee Burke: Dave Robicheaux Series1.
