This was my first James Lee Burke book and I was very impressed! Filled with highly memorable characters and current plot lines (immigration, racism, abusive law enforcement) Burke kept me turning pages late into the night. This book is not for the faint of heart - very graphic violence is throughout. But the characters were so good that I was swept away. Entertaining and poignant.

Second mystery with Capetown's Detective Inspector Benny Griessel. A teenage American girl is found in the street with her throat slit. Her friend who was with her is on the run from the thugs who murdered her friend. She's afraid of the police as she thinks they're involved. Griessel must find her before she's murdered too. This gripping and suspenseful mystery takes place in thirteen hours.

Quirky take of a hitman who, at the top of his game, develops a passion for art and architecture. What happens when his job as a contract killer interferes with visits to museums and art galleries makes for both a gritty and delightful read.

Intense, haunting. Inspector Erlendur retraces the disturbed life of a suicide and reinvestigates two cold cases in this compelling novel that questions our religious and emotional beliefs in life and the afterlife.
