A Private Cathedral (Dave Robicheaux Series, Book #23) by James Lee Burke
Caught up in one of Louisiana's oldest and bloodiest family rivalries, Detective Dave Robicheaux must battle the most terrifying adversary he has ever encountered: a time-traveling superhuman assassin.
The Shondell and Balangie families are longtime enemies in the New Iberia criminal underworld and show each other no mercy. Yet their youngest heirs, Johnny and Isolde have fallen in love and run away. As he seeks to determine the young couple's whereabouts, detective Dave Robicheaux gets too close to both Isolde's mother and the mistress of her father, a venomous New Orleans mafioso whose jealousy has no bounds. In retribution, Isolde's father hires a mysterious assassin to go after Robicheaux and his partner, Clete Purcel. This hitman is unlike any other, inducing horrifying hallucinations and traveling on a menacing ghost ship that materializes without warning. To defeat him and rescue Johnny and Isolde, Robicheaux will have to overcome his own demons.
