In a land soaked with sin, Dave Robicheaux is dueling with killers, ghosts, and a woman's revenge.... The townspeople of New Iberia, Louisiana, didn't crucify Megan Flynn's father. They just didn't catch whoever pinned him to a barn wall with sixteen-penny nails. Decades later, Megan, now a world-famous photojournalist, has come back to the bayou, looking for cop Dave Robicheaux. It was Dave who found the body of labor leader Jack Flynn. The sight changed the boy, shaped him as a man. And after forty years, Robicheaux is still haunted by the bizarre unsolved slaying. Now Megan's return has stirred up the ghosts of the long-buried past, igniting a storm of violence that will rip apart lives of blacks and whites in this bayou county. And for a good cop with bad memories, hard desires, and chilling nightmares, the time has come to uncover the truth. From the Paperback edition.

Finished this 10th in the robicheaux series last week and as ever an enjoyable and atmospheric story of Dave dealing with various baddies, a historic murder that evokes memories of racial issues, while a woman with connection to our hero causes mayhem. I do need to leave a gap as the formula is familiar, although the writing as ever is gripping and makes me want to sit on Dave's Dock, neck a beer, and eat some louisiana delicacy.
