The tenth Robicheaux mystery, winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award.
Megan and Cisco Flynn are back in town. Nobody had ever been caught for the Klan murder of their father, Jack, and Detective Dave Robicheaux knows that trouble cannot be far behind. Particularly when the Flynns get mixed up with the case of a small-time hustler named Cool Breeze Broussard.
As the Flynns find themselves deeper and deeper in trouble, Robicheaux is trying to keep Cool Breeze alive. Something ties Breeze to the Flynns, and all three of them to local plantation magnate Archer Terrebonne. Something long past is poisoning all their lives, bringing death in its wake...

One of the best novels of the year from one of the very best writers at work today.Rocky Mountain NewsThe townspeople of New Iberia, Louisiana, didnt crucify Megan Flynns father. They just didnt catch whoever pinned him to a barn wall with sixteen-penny nails.Decades later, Megan, now a world-famous photojournalist, has come back to the bayou, looking for cop Dave Robicheaux. It was Dave who found the body of labor leader Jack Flynn. The sight changed the boy, shaped him as a man. And after forty years, Robicheaux is still haunted by the bizarre unsolved slaying.Now Megans return has stirred up the ghosts of the long-buried past, igniting a storm of violence that will rip apart lives of blacks and whites in this bayou country. And for a good cop with bad memories, hard desire, and chilling nightmares, the time has come to uncover the truth. In a novel that bursts with suspense, dead-on dialogue, and characters as memorable as the Louisiana bayou, tough-talking detective Dave Robicheaux is haunted by his discovery of the slain body of a labor leader 40 years earlier. When the leader's daughter returns to the bayou looking for Dave, the time has come to uncover the truth.
