In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead

About the book

A film crew has arrived in New Iberia, Louisiana to shoot a Civil War movie, but lead actor Elrod Sykes is having trouble keeping his pastel purple Cadillac on the road. Facing a possible DUI charge, he strikes a deal with Detective Dave Robicheaux, offering information in exchange for leniency. This leads Robicheaux to the remains of a man he witnessed being murdered back in 1957. When FBI agent Rosie Gomez joins the investigation, Robicheaux finds himself forming an unlikely partnership that challenges his own beliefs and his community. It's not until he encounters General John Bell Hood, a Confederate officer, in the misty bayou that Robicheaux realizes that the echoes of war continue to resonate, and the battle is far from over...
