all james lee burke stores are excellent whether it be billy bob holland or dave robicheau - this is an excellent author who knoes how to write and holds the readers attention - for wanting to read more of his books. i am currently reading one of the billy bob holland series and these books are hard to put down. you feel like you really know the character. i admire the author who lives in missoula, montana, now and am mad that my daughter - adult - didntt meet him or read his books before she moved to belgrade out of bozeman. this man can WRITE.
