This is one of Burke's best efforts, in my opinion. Robicheaux is on a fairly even keel, his family life is stable, his personal demons harnessed and put to good use, his crusade against evil aided and encouraged by the ghost of General John Bell Hood (it works, it really does), and Clete Purcel nowhere in sight. By turns poetic and brutal, as always. Burke can almost make me nostalgic for Louisiana mosquitoes. (First read shortly after publication, and re-read in 2009, prompted by having watched the movie with Tommy Lee Jones twice in one weekend.) ( )
This was the first Robicheaux novel I read, and my favorite. I've since read most of them twice. The great title of this one foreshadows the fantastic writing and story that follows. Robicheaux is one of the best protagonists in modern literature. Burke is one of the best writers. ( )
A movie is being make in New Iberia and with it a number of unsavory characters come to town. Detective Dave Robicheau see the actors dressed as Confederate soldiers and then has dreams where he talks with Confederate General John Bell Hood. I usually find Robicheau to be a likable character but he seems like a real ass at times in this book. ( )
This one never quite clicked with me. The Robicheaux series has always been firmly rooted in reality, so for him to start talking to ghosts? Simply didn't work for me.
Strip the ghost portions away—and the awful, cliched part they played at the end—and this is a fine Robicheaux story.
When Hollywood invades New Iberia Parish to film a Civil War epic, restless specters waiting in the shadows for Louisiana detective Dave Robicheaux are reawakened - ghosts of a history best left undisturbed. Hunting a serial killer preying on the lawless young, Robicheaux comes face-to-face with the elusive guardians o his darkest torments - who hold the key to his ultimate salvation. . . or a final, fatal downfall.

The sky had gone black at sunset, and the storm had churned inland from the Gulf and drenched New Iberia and littered East Main with leaves and tree branches from the long canopy of oaks that covered the street from the old brick post office to the drawbridge over Bayou Teche at the edge of town.

Or maybe even old compatriots in butternut brown wending their way in and out of history---gallant, Arthurian, their canister-ripped colors unfurled in the roiling smoke, the fatal light in their faces a reminder that the contest is never quite over, the field never quite ours.
