About the book
This amazing thriller goes beyond the typical genre label to offer a complex, cynical, and chilling depiction of modern America. The Louisiana backdrop is as intense as a thunderstorm. Sonny Marsallas, a hustler from New Orleans, shows up in New Iberia and gives Dave Robicheaux a mysterious notebook. This sets off a chain of violent events. Sonny's girlfriend is murdered because of what she knows...and this is just the beginning of the secrets Robicheaux must uncover to stay alive. Why do leftist guerrillas from South America call Sonny "Red Angel"? Why is the Mafia interested in a piece of swamp in New Iberia? Has Sonny finally crossed the line with his scheming?
