Creole Belle
Trade cloth edition in very good condition. Dust jacket with intact price point. Full number line starting with 1. Mylar cover included. Dave Robicheaux series #19.
“Age is a peculiar kind of thief. It slips up on you and steps inside your skin so quiet and methodical in its work that you never realize it has stolen your youth until you look in the mirror one morning and see a man you don’t recognize.”
Set against the events of the Gulf Coast oil spill, Creole Belle finds Dave Robicheaux languishing in a New Orleans recovery unit since surviving a bayou shoot-out. The detective’s body is healing; it’s his morphine-addled mind that conjures spectral visions of Tee Jolie Melton, a young woman who in reality has gone missing. An iPod with an old blues song left by his bedside turns Robicheaux into a man obsessed…and as oil companies assign blame after an epic disaster threatens the Gulf’s very existence, Robicheaux unearths connections between tragedies both global and personal—and faces down forces that can corrupt and destroy the best of men.
