- Used Book in Good Condition
â€œAmericaâ€™s best novelistâ€ (The Denver Post) and â€œthe reigning champ of nostalgia noirâ€ (The New York Times Book Review) introduces his most evil character yet in the twentieth thriller in the bestselling Dave Robicheaux series.

Louisiana Sherriffâ€™s Detective Dave Robicheaux and his longtime friend and partner Clete Purcel are vacationing in Montanaâ€™s spectacular Big Sky country when a series of suspicious events leads them to believe their livesâ€”and the lives of their familiesâ€”are in danger. In contrast to the tranquil beauty of Flathead Lake and the colorful summertime larch and fir unspooling across unblemished ranchland, a venomous presence lurks in the caves and hills, intent on destroying innocent lives. First, Alafair Robicheaux is nearly killed by an arrow while hiking alone on a trail. Then Cleteâ€™s daughter, Gretchen Horowitz, whom readers met in Burkeâ€™s previous bestseller Creole Belle, runs afoul of a local cop, with dire consequences. Next, Alafair thinks she sees a familiar face following her around townâ€”but how could convicted sadist and serial killer Asa Surette be loose on the streets of Montana? Surrette committed a string of heinous murders while capital punishment was outlawed in his home state of Kansas. Years ago, Alafair, a lawyer and novelist, interviewed Surette in prison, aiming to prove him guilty of other crimes and eligible for the death penalty. Recently, a prison transport van carrying Surette crashed and he is believed dead, but Alafair isnâ€™t so sure. Says The Plain Dealer (Cleveland), â€œAlready designated a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, Burke should get another title, say, for sustained literary brilliance in his Dave Robicheaux series.â€ Light of the World is a harrowing novel that examines the nature of evil and pits Dave Robicheaux against the most diabolical villain he has ever faced.
