Critical acclaim for James Lee Burke: "If you haven't already discovered Burke's novels, find one." --Chicago Tribune "Burke is a brilliant descriptive writer, perhaps the best in modern American fiction." --Portland Oregonian "Terrific reading.  Few writers in America can evoke a region as well as Burke." --Philadelphia Inquirer "Burke is a master at setting mood, laying in atmosphere, all with quirky, raunchy dialogue that's a delight." --Elmore Leonard "Burke flies miles above most contemporary crime novelists." --Orlando Sentinel

Synopsis
Detective Dave Robicheaux re-turns to center stage in an incendiary new novel by James Lee Burke. A gripping tale of racial violence, class warfare, and the sometimes cruel legacy of Southern history,Sunset Limitedis a stunning achievement, confirming Burke's place as one of America's premier stylists as well as master storytellers.  "Not since Raymond Chandler has anyone so thoroughly reinvented the crime and mystery genre," said novelist Jim Harrison, and inSunset LimitedBurke continues to carve out new territory. As always in the fiction of James Lee Burke, the past impinges on the present: The forty-year-old crucifixion of a prominent labor leader named Jack Flynn remains an unsolved atrocity that has never been forgotten in New Iberia, Louisiana.  When Flynn's daughter, Megan, a photojournalist drawn to controversial subjects, returns to the site of her father's murder, it quickly becomes clear that her family's bloodstained past will not stay buried. Megan gives her old friend Dave Robicheaux a tip about a small-time criminal named Cool Breeze Broussard, scarcely suspecting that the seemingly innocuous case will lead Robicheaux and his partner, Helen Soileau, into the midst of a deadly conspiracy.  As New Orleans mobsters and mysterious hit men converge on his parish, Robicheaux soon finds that all the clues point back in time to the tortured death of Jack Flynn. Combining brilliant prose, crackling suspense, and an exquisite sense of character and place,Sunset Limitedis a wrenching tale of historic violence and soiled redemption that reveals one of America's finest novelists at his masterful best.

    Seller exceeded expectations in every way. They accepted a really great offer price, which was much appreciated. The book was in excellent condition, exactly as shown in pictures. Packaging was extremely secure, and the package was shipped promptly. And to top it all off, the seller included a bonus book as a freebie. My wife was absolutely thrilled when she opened the box today. Thank you for going above and beyond.
