Former Klansman & piney-woods outcast Aaron Crown in finally imprisoned for a decades old murder, it is Dave Robicheaux to whom he proclaims his innocence. Crown becomes a lightnng rod for every kind of trouble that the state of Louisiana can unearth. A documentary film writer seeking to prove Crown's innocence is viciously murdered; a New Orleans mobster accuses Robicheaux of taking a payoff to ignore Crown.

Bufore LaRose, gubernatorial candidate & author of a book on the Crown case leaves victims left & right as he campaigns & his wife cannot rein in her campaign for Robicheaux one more time.

The humidity, failed dreams, alcohol fumed passions mingle w/caddy convertibles, swamp hideouts, retaliation for imagined slights & flaming arrogance of those who deem themselves worthy.

Perfect book for summer reading.
