Dixie City Jam | James Lee Burke
1 post | 8 read
From two-time Edgar Award–winner and New York Times bestselling author James Lee Burke comes a thrilling novel—now available in ebook—that pits Dave Robicheaux against the worst opponent he’s encountered yet. It’s out there, under the salt of the Gulf of Mexico, off the Louisiana coast—a buried Nazi submarine. Detective Dave Robicheaux of the New Iberia Sheriff’s office has known of its existence since childhood, when he was terrified by nightmares of the evil Nazi sailors just offshore. Then, as a teenager he stumbled upon the sunken sub while scuba diving—but for years he kept the secret of its watery grave. But decades later, a powerful Jewish activist wants the sub raised, and Robicheaux’s knowledge puts him at the center of a terrifying struggle of conflicting desires. A neo-Nazi psychopath named Will Buchalter, who insists that the Holocaust was a hoax, wants to find the submarine first—and he’ll stop at nothing to get Robicheaux to talk. With colorful characters, flawless plotting, and devilishly clever dialogue, Dixie City Jam is a spine-tingling suspense novel you won’t want to miss!

I'm on a series roll at the moment and dave robicheaux is one of my favourites, inevitably a tough guy but with a vulnerable heart of gold. In bk 7 he is up against a particularly nasty villain (i love a brilliantly drawn bad guy) with extreme nazi sympathies. James Lee burke is a mastercraftsman who writes great prose whilst thrilling the reader and evoking the louisiana landscape. Anyone who says crime novels do not have literary joys shd rd him
