Editorial Reviews

Product Description

From The New York Times bestselling author James Lee Burke comes five thrilling audiobooks in one package, all read by the phenomenal Will Patton.

A STAINED WHITE RADIANCE

The death of a cop draws police detective Dave Robicheaux into a dangerous web of madness, murder and incest. But Robicheaux has devils of his own. And they've come out of hiding to destroy the tormented investigator -- and the people he holds most dear.

IN THE ELECTRIC MIST WITH CONFEDERATE DEAD

Hollywood has sent its emissaries to New Iberia Parish to film a Civil War epic in the steaming mists of the Louisiana bayou -- reawakening the ghosts of a past best left undisturbed. The restless specters wait in the shadows for cajun cop Dave Robicheaux -- as he hunts a serial butcher who is preying on young.

DIXIE CITY JAM

Detective Dave Robicheaux finds himself and his family at serious risk when he is stalked for his knowledge of a watery burial ground by a mysterious man named Will Buchalter -- a man who believes that the Holocaust was one big hoax.

BURNING ANGEL

Dave Robicheaux becomes entangled in the affairs of the Fontenot family, descendants of sharecroppers whose matriarch helped raise Dave as a child. They are in danger of losing the land they've lived on for more than a century. As Dave tries to discover who wants the land so badly, he finds himself in increasing peril from the local mobsters and a hired assassin.

CADILLAC JUKEBOX

When former Klansman Aaron Crown is finally imprisoned for a decades-old murder, it is to Detective Dave Robicheaux that he proclaims his innocence loudest. Crown seems to be a lightning rod for every kind of trouble that the state of Louisiana can unearth. But it's not until a figure from Dave's past is elected governor that his involvement with Aaron Crown becomes deadly.

I enjoy the tales, and Will Patton's voices...+)... I do have to back up the cd now and then, when traffic, or daydreaming make me lose track of the plotline, but a well read story is a good use of car time!
