Burke, James Lee Heaven's Prisoners

First met in Burke's excellent mystery, The Neon Rain, Dave Robicheaux is a driven mandriven by his constant battle with alcoholism; by memories of hi s past as a detective on the New Orleans police force; by his need for orde r; by his obsession with the seedy, aberrant side of New Orleans life. Tryi ng to put his own life together again, Dave has married Annie and now runs a small fishing rental business in the Louisiana bayou. When he and Annie w itness the crash of a small plane, in which four peopleobviously illegal al iensdie, and only a little girl survives, Robicheaux is drawn to the trail of a network of crimes that suggests a Central American dope-running ring o perated with the connivance of federal agents. Violence ensues, and Robiche aux, no stranger to tragedy, must confront it again when Annie becomes a vi ctim. Haunted by guilt, deeply depressed, in constant danger, Robicheaux tr usts no one, including the cops, for he knows that they too, are capable of skirting the law. Burke beautifully evokes New Orleans and the mysterious bayous, and he skillfully depicts the different lifestyles that distinguish the Gulf region.
