In the waning days of summer,2005,a storm with greater impact
than the bomb that struck Hiroshima peels the face off southern
Louisiana.
This is the gruesome reality Iberia Parish Sheriff's
Detective Dave Robicheaux discovers as he is deployed to New
Orleans. As James Lee Burke's new novel, The Tin Roof
BIowdown,begins, Hurricane Katrina has left the commercial
district and residential neighborhoods awash with looters and
predators of every stripe. The power grid of the city has been
destroyed, New Orleans reduced to the level of a medieval
society. There is no law, no order,no sanctuary for the infirm,
the helpless, and the innocent. Bodies float in the streets and
lie impaled on the branches of flooded trees. In the midst of an
apocalyptical nightmare, Robicheaux must find two serial rapists,
a morphineaddicted priest, and a vigilante who may be more
dangerous than the criminals looting the city.
In a singular style that defies genre,James Lee Burke has
created a hauntingly bleak picture of life in New Orleans after
Katrina. Filled with complex characters and depictions of people
at both their best and worst, The Tin RoofBlowdown is not only an
actionpacked crime thriller, but a poignant story of courage and
sacrifice that critics are already calling Burke's best work.
