Robicheaux (Dave Robicheaux Series, Book #21) by James Lee Burke
Haunted by the demons of his past, Dave Robicheaux seeks deliverance one night at a local bar. That same night, the man who took the life of Dave's beloved wife dies a violent death. His memory a blur and his alibi flimsy, Dave Robicheaux soon discovers he may have committed the homicide he's been assigned to investigate. As he works to clear his name and make sense of the murder, Robicheaux encounters a cast of characters and a resurgence of dark social forces that threaten to destroy all of those whom he loves. What emerges is not only a propulsive and thrilling novel but a harrowing study of America: this nation's abiding conflict between a sense of past grandeur and a legacy of shame, its easy seduction by demagogues and wealth, and its predilection for violence and revenge.
