Recently paroled from prison, Iry Paret becomes drawn into a tragic conflict involving an ex-convict and their neighbors in this page-turning thriller from New York Times bestselling author James Lee Burke.
Iry Paretâs done his timeâtwo years for manslaughter in Louisianaâs Angola State Penitentiary. Now the war vet and blues singer is headed to Montana, where he hopes to live clean working on a ranch owned by the father of his prison pal, Buddy Riordan.
In prison, Iry tinkered with a songââThe Lost Get-Back Boogieââthat never came out quite right. Now, the Riordan familyâs problems hand him a new kind of trouble, with some tragic consequences. And Iry must get the tune right at last, or pay a fateful price.
