Cadillac Jukebox (Dave Robicheaux Series, Book #9) by James Lee Burke
Aaron Crown renounced the Ku Klux Klan years ago. However, twenty-eight years after the murder of famed NAACP leader Ely Dixon, it's Crown who is convicted of the crime. He protests his innocence, and the more Detective Dave Robicheaux investigates, the more it seems Crown has been wrongly convicted. Not everyone agrees: mobster Mingo Bloomberg and plantation scion and gubernatorial candidate Buford LaRose want Robicheaux to back off, promising him riches in exchange for his compliance. Robicheaux knows better and ends up in the crosshairs of the mafia, Louisiana's first family, and a machete-wielding hit man. It's up to Robicheaux to uncover the truth before New Iberia buckles under a generation's worth of racism, injustice, and violence.
