James Lee Burke

Brooding New Orleans detective Dave Robicheaux and his partner, the one-man-cyclone Clete Purcel, head north to Montana in the newest novel in the popular series. I was disappointed in Burke's first post-Katrina Robinceaux novel, "The Tin Roof Blowdown," but have high hopes for "Swan Peak."
On his game, Burke is the most flavorful of the modern crime writers. Check him out at this site.

Gene really likes Burke's novels. Of course, he's collected them all --first editions--signed--dust jackets---gold plated---preserved in a shrine--armed guarded ---etc.

Have you found any first edition copies of Futuria Fantasia?
