It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Swan Peak

James Lee Burke is my favorite writer, and his Robichaux series is the best. I don't know how he keeps on doing it year after year. Swan Peak holds up with his best, such as Tin Roof Blowdown.

In The Devils Territory

This book was a discovery I made because I like the works of George Pelecanos, who chose "A Day Meant to Do Less" for Best American Mystery. The themes are love, loss, sexuality, redemption, freedom, and change. I noticed that some of the characters like Leslie Ratliff occur in more than one story. Leslie Ratliff is very interesting because we never hear his story from him. We have to piece it together from his small parts in other people's stories. So his story is kind of like a bonus story not advertised in the table of contents. This was a interesting book different from other books I like. Does anybody know if this writer has written other books?
