Neon Rain / James Lee Burke / p248

This novel pits a New Orleans homicide detective Dave Robichaux against the mob, the contras, the Feds and just about all the other cops. Tough cop, good cop. I'd never read anything by this author before but the book happened to be available so I picked it up and then wouldn't put it down. I'm not normally fond of main characters who are drawn to violence but this Dave character is really the good guy. I even put The Glass Rainbow on reserve......another Dave Robichaux novel.
