Description: Set in the summer of Hurricane Katrina. Dave Robicheaux left his drinking days behind long ago, after a tragic event he wasn't sober enough to prevent. Two decades later, several incidents in Dave's life in Iberia Parish link back to those involved. Two very powerful criminals, both with the attitude of the privileged and white, are trying to protect their sons from the trouble they court. When a young black drug dealer gets on the wrong side of the boys, Dave comes to blows with the FBI, the DA's office and a thug who has little regard for any life but his own.
