Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional and particularly internally,is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of its 25+ year-old age and nature, i.e an ephemeral paperback Proof copy.It is only the minimal faults described that prevents a slightly higher grading overall.Despite that,it really is still an exceptional,exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of detracting faults usually present in a decades old paperback. Seems pretty scarce as a UK proof and therefore highly collectable with it preceding the US issue. America's finest crime writer returns to the bayou country with a wrenching story of racial violence,class warfare and the cruelty that privilege often brings.The forty-year-old crucifixion of a prominent labor leader named Jack Flynn remains an unsolved atrocity in New Iberia, Louisianna.And when Flynn's daughter Megan,a photojournalist drawn to controversial subjects,returns,it becomes clear to Robicheaux that her family's blood-stained past will not stay buried for long.With nail-biting suspense, dead-on dialogue and characters as memorable as the Louisianna setting they call home,this tale of historic violence and soiled redemption finds James Lee Burke at the top of his form.Another Detective Dave Robicheaux novel.
