The Tin Roof Blowdown

James Lee Burke

'His most gripping thriller to date.' Mirror

Hurricane Katrina has transformed New Orleans into a violent wasteland. Criminals capitalise on the devastation as survivors wait for help that never comes.

David Robicheaux - his city in ruins -- is tasked with investigating the murder of a pair of looters: is it a simple case of 'stand-your-ground' or something altogether darker? The dead men's accomplice holds the key but he has disappeared to escape the people hunting him.

As Robicheaux uncovers a brutal catalogue of greed torture and murder his own family is threatened and the ravaged city provides the perfect stage for a final confrontation between good and evil.

'A beautifully written howl of rage.' Time Out
