From Publishers Weekly

After his dreamy sojourn into Civil War history in In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead , former New Orleans cop Dave Robicheaux comes up against the residue of Nazism in his action-packed, somewhat rambling seventh adventure. When Batist, who helps Dave run his bait shop, is arrested for the latest in a series of murders of New Orleans drug dealers, Dave must raise money for his bail. For a $10,000 finder's fee, he agrees to search for a Nazi submarine sunk in 1942 off the coast of New Iberia, where he is now deputy sheriff. While the sub search draws the attention of a neo-Nazi sadist who threatens Dave's wife, Bootsie, Dave is distracted by the antics of his former partner, Clete Purcel, who has decided to take on mob interests and, in one instance, destroys a crime boss's mansion with an earth mover. Before a dramatic resolution at sea draws the threads of the plots loosely together, Dave traces an intricate course marked by ritual killings, bouts of torture, Bootsie's anxiety (from which she seeks relief in drink) and racial and gender politics within the New Orleans police force, drawing Dave into the lives of a feisty black woman cop and her teenage son. A standout in the diverting supporting cast is doom-predicting Brother Oswald, who employs a maddeningly roundabout manner of discourse. In this physically demanding, fast moving plot, Dave is less ruminative than when last seen, though he holds on to his trademark melancholy-tinged sensitivity. $200,000 ad/promo; 20-city author tour.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Best villain ever!, Mai 22 2004
Par Denny Gibbons (Champaign, IL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This book served as my introduction to the Dave Robicheaux series, and it didn't disappoint! The atmosphere and colorful characters was good, but what I liked best was one of the most evil, sadistic and realistic literary villains I've yet come across in a mystery novel. The fear that this character instills in all of the good characters is what drives this book onward, and I didn't want to put it down until the end.

5.0étoiles sur 5 What a book!, Fév 6 2004
Par Un client
I loved this book! It, along with "In the Electric Mist" are two of my favorites! Tough writing, with characters named Clete, Buchalter, and Robicheaux (what more do you need?) this was a fast-paced novel with excellent plot and development. Also like the dialect--easy to understand and not too much of it. Want a good read and a good mystery along with good writing? This is it.

Also recommended: Bark of the Dogwood and Cold Mountain

5.0étoiles sur 5 Robicheaux, Robicheaux, Robicheaux!!, Nov. 27 2002
Par Beverly C. Sanders (USA, Baltimore, MD) - Voir tous mes commentaires
What a wonderful read this suspense, thriller and murder mystery was. I really hated to stop the story to eat or to sleep. Dave Robicheau is magnificant in his role as city policeman and hiis assistant Cleat Purcell keep the mystery rolling along. New Orleans, La. was shown to hold as much spice as any can of red hot chiles.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not bad, but definitely not great.
As a rabid fan of James Ellroy, I find myself comparing other authors in his genre to the Demon Dog. I heard good things about Burke, and picked this book up. Read more
