Light of the World (Dave Robicheaux #20)
In Light of the World, sadist and serial killer Asa Surrette narrowly escaped the death penalty for the string of heinous murders he committed while capital punishment was outlawed in Kansas. But following a series of damning articles written by Dave Robicheaux’s daughter Alafair about possible other crimes committed by Surette, the killer escapes from a prison transport van and heads to Montana—where an unsuspecting Dave happens to have gone to take in the sweet summer air, accompanied by Alafair, his wife Molly, faithful partner Clete, and Clete’s newfound daughter, Gretchen Horowitz, whom listeners met in Burke’s most recent bestseller Creole Belle.
James Lee Burkes Dave Robicheaux, the haunted, all-too-human homicide detective from the Louisiana bayou country, first appeared more than 25 years ago in The Neon Rain. It was apparent, even then, that Burke had given us an extraordinary character, one whose depth, complexity and evocative narrative voice was worth returning to again and again. That has turned out to be the case. Light of the World is the 20th installment in this increasingly ambitious series, and it reaffirms Robicheauxs
In this 20th book in the 'Dave Robicheaux' series, the Louisiana detective is on vacation in Montana, but can't get away from vicious criminals. The book can be read as a standalone, but familiarity with the series is a plus.*****Louisiana Sheriff's Detective Dave Robichaux is on vacation in Montana with his wife Molly, novelist daughter Alafair, and private detective friend Clete Purcell. They are soon joined by Gretchen Horowitz, the daughter Clete first met when she was an adult. Gretchen,
It is unbelievable that after all the novels Burke has written, he just keeps getting better and better. This one features a road trip, with Clete, Dave and Alafair staying with a friend and then hearing that Gretchen will soon be joining them as well. A fact that Dave is more than a little worried about. With all four of them together, you just know strange things are going to happen. True evil, when someone thought to be dead more than likely is not. A fast moving, and compelling read. A must
I read my first James Lee Burke book in 1990, it was The Neon Rain, I bought the paperback for the title, and I loved the main Character Dave Robicheaux. After reading the book I read the next two books in the series, and from then on I read everything that James Lee Burke wrote. I would buy his books the day they came out even though they were hardback and expensive and knowing if i waited a week or two they would go on sale. I didn't care, I couldn't wait to read them. Like all book series,
