Perfect for you if...

  • You love crime fiction that treats Louisiana and its characters with the gravity of literary fiction, not pulp.
  • You've read other Robicheaux novels and want to see how Burke deepens his protagonist's reckoning with violence and redemption.
  • You appreciate sprawling investigations that weave together Hollywood corruption, organised crime, and personal demons without losing sight of the mystery.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer self-contained standalone mysteries over long-running series where character history matters deeply.
  • You want fast-paced procedurals that move linearly. Burke digs into moral murk and psychological texture instead.
  • You're uncomfortable with graphic violence or depictions of sexual cruelty tied to the central crime.

About this book

Detective Dave Robicheaux investigates the shocking death of a young woman who has been crucified and found near the estate of Desmond Cormier, a Hollywood director Robicheaux knew years earlier when Cormier was a struggling young man in New Orleans. Now successful with Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations, Cormier and his actor friend Antoine Butterworth are reluctant to cooperate with Robicheaux and deputy Sean McClain. As the investigation deepens, Robicheaux receives help from his longtime associate Clete Purcel and his daughter Alafair. A crucial lead emerges when Clete witnesses the escape of Texas inmate Hugo Tillinger, who may be connected to the case. The investigation pulls Robicheaux into dangerous territory involving the mob, a man named Chester Wimple, and personal demons from his past. Robicheaux must confront these threats to protect himself and those close to him.
