The lost get-back boogie
(Book)

Originally published in hardcover by Louisiana State Press, 1986.

Includes an excerpt from Crusader's cross, the new Dave Robicheaux novel from James Lee Burke.

A deathbed confession from an old schoolmate resurrects a story of injustice, the murder of a young woman, and a time in Robicheaux's life that he has tried to forget. Robicheaux and his half-brother, Jimmie, met Ida Durbin on the beach in Galveston. Jimmie fell in love, not realizing that she was a prostitute with ties to the mob. Now, decades later, when Robicheaux begins asking questions about her, he finds himself investigating a series of horrifying murders that are linked to the New Orleans underworld.
