Book Summary
James Lee Burke brings back his legendary detective Dave Robicheaux in a haunting investigation that drags him deep into the rot, violence, and secrets of the Louisiana bayou.
When a mutilated, unidentified woman is dumped in a garbage bag on Robicheaux’s property by a hooded stranger, Dave immediately senses that the crime is part of something far more sinister. The case turns personal when his daughter, Alafair, recognizes the woman’s distinctive tattoos—twin roses inked across her chest—linking the murder to a shadowy world neither of them can ignore.
As Dave follows the trail, danger closes in from every direction. His volatile but steadfast friend and former partner, Clete Purcel, digs for answers in the saloons and back alleys of the bayou, only to draw the attention of a brutal enforcer with possible ties to organized crime. Meanwhile, Dave’s new partner—a homicide detective battling open racism and sexism within the department—carries secrets of her own, ones that may be entwined with the victim’s death. Even the local handyman seems touched by something otherworldly, leaving ominous warnings about restless spirits haunting the bayou’s edge.
Rich with Burke’s signature lyricism and unforgettable characters, The Hadacol Boogie paints a raw, unsettling portrait of Louisiana steeped in history and bloodshed. Dark, atmospheric, and deeply human, the novel reaffirms Dave Robicheaux’s relentless resolve to confront evil—whether it rises from the past or lurks in the present.
