BLACK CHERRY BLUES by James Lee Burke - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by James Lee Burke. At the center of Burning Angel is Sonny Boy Marsallus, a fixer, a
gambler, a lender of money to prostitutes who are trying to leave the
life. But since Prohibition, the Giacano family has locked up the action
in New Orleans and its surrounding parishes. When things get hot for
Sonny Boy, he hightails it south of the border for parts unknown in El
Salvador and Guatemala. When Sonny resurfaces in New Orleans, Detective
Dave Robicheaux of the Iberia Parish sheriff's office couldn't be more
surprised - that is, not until Sonny passes him a mysterious notebook
for safekeeping that seems to contain dark secrets about his activities
in Latin America. Robicheaux must wrestle with secrets closer to home as
well when his help is enlisted by the Fontenot family, descendants of
sharecroppers, whose claim to land they've lived on for almost one
hundred years is jeopardized. Who wants the land so badly? And what of
the longtime, clandestine affair between Moleen Bertrand, lord of the
manor, and Ruthie Jean Fontenot, now reputed to be a local madam? As
Dave determines to find out who's honing in on the Bertrand spread, he
puts himself in increasing peril at the hands of local mobsters and a
hired assassin with a shady past that intersects with that of Sonny Boy
Marsallus.
