“America’s best novelist” James Lee Burke returns with another New York Times bestselling entry in the Dave Robicheaux thriller series (The Denver Post).
Set against the events of the Gulf Coast oil spill, rife with “the menaces of greed and violence and man-made horror” (The Christian Science Monitor), Creole Belle finds Dave Robicheaux languishing in a New Orleans recovery unit since surviving a bayou shoot-out. The detective’s body is healing; it’s his morphine-addled mind that conjures spectral visions of Tee Jolie Melton, a young woman who in reality has gone missing. An iPod with an old blues song left by his bedside turns Robicheaux into a man obsessed…And as oil companies assign blame after an epic disaster threatens the Gulf’s very existence, Robicheaux unearths connections between tragedies both global and personal—and faces down forces that can corrupt and destroy the best of men.

Yes, yes and YES! When Will Patton narrate the books by James Lee Burke you are in for a treat! The stories about Dave Robicheaux in themselves are masterpieces but Mr Patton gives them another thrust. James Lee Burke has a poetic, heart saddening, as well as a glorious, way to describe both humanity and man as well as the surroundings Dave and Clete Parcel move in. I never get tired of that! The crimes committed and deeds done are horrendous, painful, flabbergasting portrait of just that man and mankind and his doings. Will Faulkner said when asked about christianity -" Nice religion, we should try it sometime" (Comment taken from the book)
