The 9th Dave Robicheaux novel from the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling, award-winning author of THE TIN ROOF BLOWDOWN.

The call from ex-Klansman Aaron Crown couldn''t have been more unexpected. Sentenced to forty years for the decades-old shooting of a civil rights activist, Crown should have been out of Iberia Parish, Louisiana, for good.

Election candidate Buford LaRose wants Detective Dave Robicheaux to ignore Aaron''s calls, promising Robicheaux a lucrative job when he makes governorWorse still, Buford''s wife, Karyn, seems unhealthily interested in getting very close to Robicheaux - just like old times . . . The LaRoses, each for their own reasons, want Crown''s case buried.
