fully develops the theme. I've been reading him since sometime in the '80s, and have never seen him as eloquent in his searing contempt for the elites who regard us as economic cannon fodder.
Glass Rainbow was wonderful. I thought he was using it to wrap up the Dave Robichaux series at first. Like all of his work, it's elegiac and sad...a look at a ruined lost world as seen by a too-human recovering alcoholic. It's a deeply moving book, especially the ending. In Creole Belle, that same suffering person goes after the very people who have stolen that world and our lives. His final success is a small one and incomplete, and he knows it.
Mr. Burke is a national treasure.

Mr. Burke is indeed a national treasure. I am looking forward to his new book. I think I'm about 19th or 20th on the reserve list.
Have a great day.

It seemed sadder than some of his others, and I also thought it was to be the end of Robicheaux (until I saw the teaser chapters of Creole Belle). I might have to get home and find the new one in a used bookstore or library soon, as I refuse to pay more than $7.99 for any book on kindle.
