Synopsis
In New Orleans, Detective Dave Robicheaux takes up the case of the Fontenot family, an old family in danger of losing their ancestral land. Local mobsters have something to say about Robicheaux's interference with the Fontenot's, and some how this all leads back to Sonny Boy Marsallus, a gambler who decided to head for Central America after he ran up against the powerful Giacana family one too many times.

Industry Reviews
"Burke tells a story in a style all his own: language that's alive, electric; he's a master at setting mood, laying in atmosphere, all with quirky, raunchy dialogue that's a delight."
Elmore Leonard
"...he tells an arresting story, his characters are eminently believable, he gets off an occasional dead-center shot at one target or another, and he writes about Louisiana and New Orleans just about as well as anyone ever has."
Washington Post Book World - Jonathan Yardley (08/20/1995)
"Burke's lush, humid prose and the controlled otherworldly aspects of this plot deftly capture the inhumanity of the bad guys and the more common frailties of ordinary folk."
Adams
"James Lee Burke is one of the best writers of crime fiction in America. His prose is an uncommon mixture of taut realism and poetic eloquence."
Leonard
"Burke is off on a chase that is at once engrossing and...convincing."
Matheson
"In Burning Angel, Burke shows why he is one of the top five writers of crime fiction alive."
Matheson
