What's Eric reading now...
Well, after three Robert B. Parker Spenser books in a row, it's time for something not so different...
A James Lee Burke Dave Robicheaux book.
Crusader's Cross (Dave Robicheaux, #14) by James Lee Burke | Goodreads
Ol' Dave's got some issues... he's an alcoholic (recovering), a Vietnam War vet with all the issues that come with that, a Bayou denizen of Louisiana, and so on. As troubled as he is from his life experiences, he's also a DAMNED GOOD COP!
Burke can also twist up a Helluva tale when he sits down at his writing desk. If you've never read any of Burke's Robicheaux series, I strongly suggest you give 'em a try. Start off with No. 1 and read 'em in order. You don't have to, but it's more fun that way. BINGE! It's good fer ya'!
