Light Of the World
by Burke, James Lee
Louisiana SherriffâÈçs Detective Dave Robicheaux and his longtime friend and partner Clete Purcel are vacationing in MontanaâÈçs spectacular Big Sky country when a series of suspicious events leads them to believe their livesâÈ'and the lives of their familiesâÈ'are in danger. In contrast to the tranquil beauty of Flathead Lake and the colorful summertime larch and fir unspooling across unblemished ranchland, a venomous presence lurks in the caves and hills, intent on destroying innocent lives. First, Alafair Robicheaux is nearly killed by an arrow while hiking alone on a trail. Then CleteâÈçs daughter, Gretchen Horowitz, whom readers met in BurkeâÈçs previous bestseller Creole Belle, runs afoul of a local cop, with dire consequences. Next, Alafair thinks she sees a familiar face following her around townâÈ'but how could convicted sadist and serial killer Asa Surette be loose on the streets of Montana? Surrette committed a string of heinous murders while capital punishment was outlawed in his home state of Kansas. Years ago, Alafair, a lawyer and novelist, interviewed Surette in prison, aiming to prove him guilty of other crimes and eligible for the death penalty. Recently, a prison transport van carrying Surette crashed and he is believed dead, but Alafair isnâÈçt so sure. Says The Plain Dealer (Cleveland), âÈêAlready designated a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, Burke should get another title, say, for sustained literary brilliance in his Dave Robicheaux series.âÈë Light of the World is a harrowing novel that examines the nature of evil and pits Dave Robicheaux against the most diabolical villain he has ever faced.
