Review Quotes: "James Lee Burke is a colorful writer... Pick any paragraph and you'll find descriptions of reds and blues and plums and obsidians piled on top of one another, giving his prose a Kodachrome vividness... the venerable author still writes with the same intensity, and moral avidity, that energizes his equally aged hero. And while there are plenty of villains for that hero to face -- including, aptly, a Delta oil tycoon -- Burke's finely developed understanding of the human race prevents anything from getting too black-and-white."
