This time, Burke's renowned Louisana cop returns to the Big Easy in a spellbinding tale of conspiracy, passion, and murder. A rainy late-summer night finds Robicheaux in a New Orleans bar, about to confront the man who may have savagely assaulted his friend, Father Jimmie Dolan, a Catholic priest who's always at the centre of controversy. But things in a Burke novel are rarely what they seem, and soon Robicheaux is back in New Iberia, probing a car crash that killed three teenage girls. A grief-crazed father and a maniacal, conflicted assassin are just a few of the characters Robicheaux meets as he is drawn deeper into a viper's nest of sordid secrets and escalating violence that sets him up for a confrontation that echoes down the lonely corridors of his own unresolved past.A masterful exploration of the troubled side of human nature and the dark corners of the heart, and peopled by familiar characters such as P.I. Clete Purcel and Robicheaux's old flame, the now-married Theodosia LeJeune, LAST CAR TO ELYSIAN FIELDS is vintage Burke - a moody, hard-hitting novel that goes the limit in its provocative blend of human drama and relentless noir suspense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/james-lee-burke-books\"\u003eJames Lee Burke\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phoenix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0753818191\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Phoenix","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £27.32","offer_id":47901001679025,"sku":"SB-0753818191-C3","price":27.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0753818191.jpg?v=1789393446"},{"product_id":"the-glass-rainbow-a-dave-robicheaux-novel","title":"The Glass Rainbow: A Dave Robicheaux Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Lee Burke’s eagerly awaited new novel finds Detective Dave Robicheaux back in New Iberia, Louisiana, and embroiled in the most harrowing and dangerous case of his career. Seven young women in neighboring Jefferson Davis Parish have been brutally murdered. While the crimes have all the telltale signs of a serial killer, the death of Bernadette Latiolais, a high school honor student, doesn’t fit: she is not the kind of hapless and marginalized victim psychopaths usually prey upon. Robicheaux and his best friend, Clete Purcel, confront Herman Stanga, a notorious pimp and crack dealer whom both men despise. When Stanga turns up dead shortly after a fierce beating by Purcel, in front of numerous witnesses, the case takes a nasty turn, and Clete’s career and life are hanging by threads over the abyss. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdding to Robicheaux’s troubles is the matter of his daughter, Alafair, on leave from Stanford Law to put the finishing touches on her novel. Her literary pursuit has led her into the arms of Kermit Abelard, celebrated novelist and scion of a once prominent Louisiana family whose fortunes are slowly sinking into the corruption of Louisiana’s subculture. Abelard’s association with bestselling ex-convict author Robert Weingart, a man who uses and discards people like Kleenex, causes Robicheaux to fear that Alafair might be destroyed by the man she loves. As his daughter seems to drift away from him, he wonders if he has become a victim of his own paranoia. But as usual, Robicheaux’s instincts are proven correct and he finds himself dealing with a level of evil that is greater than any enemy he has confronted in the past. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet against the backdrop of an Edenic paradise threatened by pernicious forces, James Lee Burke’s \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Rainbow \u003c\/i\u003eis already being hailed as perhaps the best novel in the Robicheaux series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/james-lee-burke-books\"\u003eJames Lee Burke\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 143919534X\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £28.72","offer_id":47901376708785,"sku":"SB-143919534X-C2","price":28.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/143919534X.jpg?v=1789393739"},{"product_id":"neon-rain","title":"Neon Rain","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/james-lee-burke-books\"\u003eJames Lee Burke\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arrow Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0099689707\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.00","offer_id":47909076762801,"sku":"SB-0099689707-C4","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0099689707.jpg?v=1789394425"},{"product_id":"heartwood","title":"Heartwood","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt would be easy to say that the citizens of Deaf Smith resent local kingpin Earl Dietrich because he's shamelessly rich and callous in his behavior toward anyone who stands in his way.

Over the course of twenty novels and one collection of short stories, he has developed a loyal and dedicated following among both critics and general readers. His thrillers, featuring either Louisiana cop Dave Robicheaux or Billy Bob Holland, a hardened Texas-based lawyer, have consistently appeared on national bestseller lists, making Burke one of America's most celebrated authors of crime fiction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Now, in a startling and brilliantly successful departure, Burke has written a historical novel -- an epic story of love, hate, and survival set against the tumultuous background of the Civil War and Reconstruction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e At the center of the novel are James Lee Burke's own ancestors, Robert Perry, who comes from a slave-owning family of wealth and privilege, and Willie Burke, born of Irish immigrants, a poor boy who is as irreverent as he is brave and decent. Despite their personal and political conflicts with the issues of the time, both men join the Confederate Army, choosing to face ordeal by fire, yet determined not to back down in their commitment to their moral beliefs, to their friends, and to the abolitionist woman with whom both have become infatuated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e One of the most compelling characters in the story, and the catalyst for much of its drama, is Flower Jamison, a beautiful young black slave befriended, at great risk to himself, by Willie and owned by -- and fathered by, although he will not admit it -- Ira Jamison. Owner of Angola Plantation, Ira Jamison is a true son of the Old South and alsoa ruthless businessman, who, after the war, returns to the plantation and re-energizes it by transforming it into a penal colony, which houses prisoners he rents out as laborers to replace the slaves who have been emancipated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Against all local law and customs, Flower learns from Willie to read and write, and receives the help and protection of Abigail Dowling, a Massachusetts abolitionist who had come south several years prior to help fight yellow fever and never left, and who has attracted the eye of both Willie and Robert Perry. These love affairs are not only fraught with danger, but compromised by the great and grim events of the Civil War and its aftermath. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As in all of Burke's writings, \"White Doves at Morning\" is full of wonderful, colorful, unforgettable villains. Some, like Clay Hatcher, are pure \"white trash\" (considered the lowest of the low, they were despised by the white ruling class and feared by former slaves). From their ranks came the most notorious of the vigilante groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, the White League and the Knights of the White Camellia. Most villainous of all, though, are the petty and mean-minded Todd McCain, owner of New Iberia's hardware store, and the diabolically evil Rufus Atkins, former overseer of Angola Plantation and the man Jamison has placed in charge of his convict labor crews. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Rounding out this unforgettable cast of characters are Carrie LaRose, madam of New Iberia's house of ill repute, and her ship's-captain brother Jean-Jacques LaRose, Cajuns who assist Flower and Abigail in their struggle to help the blacks of the town. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e With battle scenes at Shiloh and in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia that no reader will everforget, and set in a time of upheaval that affected all men and all women at all levels of society, \"White Doves at Morning\" is an epic worthy of America's most tragic conflict, as well as a book of substance, importance, and genuine originality, one that will undoubtedly come to be regarded as a masterpiece of historical fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/james-lee-burke-books\"\u003eJames Lee Burke\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780743244718\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47913640984753,"sku":"SB-0743244710-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0743244710.jpg?v=1789678125"},{"product_id":"cimarron-rose","title":"Cimarron Rose","description":"\u003cp\u003eBilly Bob's relationship with Lucas's family is not an easy one - years back he was a close friend of Mrs Smothers, too close according to her husband Vernon.
