From the creator of one of America\'s best mystery series ( Library Journal, starred review), James Lee Burke\'s The Glass Rainbow is a superlative ( Publishers Weekly, starred review) bayou thriller..
To protect his daughter and clear his best friend\'s name, Robicheaux will need every ounce of guts, wit, and investigative chops he can muster.
But at the same time he fears for Alafair\'s well-being--and possibly her life--she\'s becoming more distant toward him, convinced his concerns are just the paranoia of an overprotective father.
In Robicheaux\'s mind, Abelard\'s association with a sleazy ex-convict turned bestselling author named Robert Weingart puts him at the center of some very shady business, and Robicheaux fears he\'s taking Alafair down with him.
Her literary pursuit has led her into the arms of Kermit Abelard, celebrated novelist and scion of a once-prominent Louisiana family whose fortunes are slowly sinking into the bayous.
Adding to Robicheaux\'s troubles is the matter of his adopted daughter, Alafair, on hiatus from Stanford Law for a semester and home in New Iberia to put the finishing touches on her novel.
When Stanga turns up dead shortly after a fierce beating in front of numerous witnesses at the hands of Clete Purcel, the case takes a nasty turn, and solving the mystery of the Jefferson Davis deaths becomes more important than ever.
On the trail of a killer responsible for the deaths of seven young women in neighboring Jefferson Davis parish, Detective Dave Robicheaux and his best friend Clete Purcel can\'t seem to stay away from Herman Stanga, a notorious pimp whose name constantly resurfaces in their investigation, and whom both men despise.
From New York Times bestselling author James Lee Burke, Detective Dave Robicheaux becomes entangled in a mystery that connects a series of grisly murders with an ex-convict turned bestselling author, a notorious local pimp, and the man currently dating Robicheaux\'s daughter.
