A Private Cathedral
Detective Dave Robicheaux is back in his most difficult case yet.
From the wreckage of Louisiana's oldest family rivalry, Detective Dave Robicheaux faces his most sinister enemy yet.
Isolde and Johnny - the star-crossed teenage heirs to New Iberia's criminal empires - have run away together, and Robicheaux is tasked with finding them. But when his investigation brings him too close to both Isolde's mother and her father's mistress, the venomous mafioso orders a hit on Robicheaux and his partner, Clete Purcel.
In order to rescue the young lovers, and save himself, Robicheaux must face a terrifying time-traveling superhuman hitman capable of inflicting horrifying hallucinations on his victims, and overcome the demons that have tormented him his whole life.
A Private Cathedral is a masterful addition to James Lee Burke's storied series featuring Detective Dave Robicheaux, blending suspense, crime, and the supernatural.
