Publisher Comments:Trouble follows Dave Robicheaux. James Lee Burke's new novel, Swan Peak, finds Detective Robicheaux far from his New Iberia roots, attempting to relax in the untouched wilderness of rural Montana. He, his wife, and his buddy Clete Purcell have retreated to stay at an old friend's ranch, hoping to spend their days fishing and enjoying their distance from the harsh, gritty landscape of Louisiana post-Katrina. But the serenity is soon shattered when two college students are found brutally murdered in the hills behind where the Robicheauxs and Purcell are staying. They quickly find themselves involved in a twisted and dangerous mystery involving a wealthy, vicious oil tycoon, his deformed brother and beautiful wife, a sexually deviant minister, an escaped con and former country music star, and a vigilante Texas gunbull out for blood. At the center of the storm is Clete, who cannot shake the feeling that he is being haunted by the ghosts from his past — namely Sally Dio, the mob boss he'd sabotaged and killed years before. In this expertly drawn, gripping story, Burke deftly weaves intricate, engaging plotlines and original, compelling characters with his uniquely graceful prose. He transcends genre yet again in the latest thrilling addition to his New York Times bestselling series. Review:"Another triumph." Los Angeles Times Review:"A sprawling, exuberant thriller." The Oregonian Review:"...Burke settles in comfortably to his setting, using his signature style to evoke a new landscape and doing considerably more with his supporting cast than is typical of the series." Booklist Review:"Burke’s lyrical language and eye for detail are well suited to the rugged physical beauty of Montana, and his characters spring to life..." Bookmarks Synopsis:Far from Louisiana, Detective Dave Robicheaux and his wife attempt to relax in the untouched wilderness of rural Montana. But the serenity is soon shattered when two college students are found brutally murdered. This gripping New York Times bestseller is available in a tall Premium Edition.
