Description
Dave Robicheaux is trying to put a life of violence and crime behind him, leaving homicide to run a boat-rental business in Louisiana's bayou country. But one day, while fishing in the Gulf with his wife Annie, he witnesses an event that will change his life forever.
A small two-engine plane suddenly crashes into the sea, and Robicheaux dives down to the wreckage to find four bodies and one survivor; a little girl miraculously trapped in a pocket of air. When the authorities insist only three bodies were recovered from the plane, Robicheaux decides to investigate the mystery of the missing man.
Heaven's Prisoners unravels this mystery, capturing the intrigue and danger that follow Robicheaux as he delves deeper into the investigation.

Heaven's Prisoners by James Lee Burke is praised for its richly atmospheric setting and deep exploration of the human condition, often likened to the works of Zola. Critics commend Burke's lyrical prose and masterful control of plot and pace, highlighting his ability to intertwine the detective narrative with broader societal themes. His protagonist, detective Dave Robicheaux, is noted for grappling with both contemporary issues and personal demons in the evocative setting of the Gulf Coast.
