A Private Cathedral by James Lee Burke –
5 Stars
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 9781982151683
As in all of the books in the Dave
Robicheaux series, there is violent action, vivid descriptions of places and
people, and narrative of the thoughts in Dave’s head. There is a love story and
insight into the evils of mankind. It is the introduction of Gideon, a
time-traveling mystical presence, which makes this story unique. Louisiana is special in
its history and culture, so a being from the 16th century seems
possible. After all, in the past, Dave has met ghosts of confederate soldiers.
Dave and Clete have lived through
personal tragedy and witnessed the dark side of life. Once again, they struggle
to right wrongs and defend those that the world has treated cruelly.
I have been reading the books in the Dave
Robicheaux series for years and have enjoyed each of them. This is another
interesting and intelligent story.
