Every Cloak Rolled In Blood

Description

'One of the finest American writers' GUARDIAN -------- Novelist Aaron Holland Broussard is shattered by the sudden death of his daughter Fannie Mae. As he tries to honor her memory by saving two young men from a life of crime, he is drawn into a network of villainy that includes a former Klansman, a far-from-holy minister, and a murderer hiding in plain sight. It seems the only person Aaron can trust is a no-nonsense state police officer - that is, until the ghost of Fannie Mae shows up, guiding her father through a tangled web of past and present, helping him vanquish foes from both this world and the next... Drawn from James Lee Burke's own life, Every Cloak Rolled in Blood is a devastating exploration of morality, and a deeply moving story about the power of love and family. -------- 'One of the finest crime writers' DAILY MAIL 'The king of southern noir' DAILY MIRROR
