The Neon Rain.

JAMES LEE BURKE

Publication: Henry Holt and Company, 1987, New York

First edition. Fine, bright, unread copy in a bright, unfaded dust jacket. Signed by the author on the title page. First book in Dave Robicheaux mystery series and author's first mystery novel. Det. Dave Robicheaux has fought too many battles in Vietnam, with killers and hustlers, and with the bottle. Lost without his wife's love, Robicheaux's haunted soul mirrors the intensity and dusky mystery of New Orleans' French Quarter - the place he calls home, and the place that nearly destroys him when he becomes involved in the case of a young prostitute whose body is found in a bayou.
