| Opplysninger | Detective Dave Robicheaux's world isn't filled with too many happy stories, but Desmond Cormier's rags-to-riches tale is certainly one of them. Robicheaux first met Cormier on the streets of New Orleans, when the young, undersized boy had foolish dreams of becoming a Hollywood director.Twenty-five years later, when Robicheaux knocks on Cormier's door, it isn't to congratulate him on his Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations. Robicheaux has discovered the body of a young woman who's been crucified, wearing only a small chain on her ankle. She disappeared near Cormier's Cyrpemort Point estate, and Robicheaux, along with young deputy, Sean McClain, are looking for answers. Neither Cormier nor his enigmatic actor friend Antoine Butterworth are saying much, but Robicheaux knows better.As always, Clete Purcel and Davie's daughter, Alafair, have Robicheaux's back. Clete witnesses the escape of Texas inmate, Hugo Tillinger, who may hold the key to Robicheaux's case. As they wade further into the investigation, they end up in the crosshairs of the mob, the deranged Chester Wimple, and the dark ghosts Robicheaux has been running from for years. Ultimately, it's up to Robicheaux to stop them all, but he'll have to summon a light he's never seen or felt to save himself, and those he loves. - Etterforsker Dave Robicheaux møtte Desmond Cormier for første gang i bakgatene i New Orleans. Han var en ung mann som drømte om berømmelse mens Robicheaux allerede hadde funnet sin egen vei. Nå, tjuefem år senere har rollene endret seg. Når Robicheaux banker på døra til Cormier, møter han en vellykket Hollywood-regissør. Det ser ut til at drømmer kan gå i oppfyllelse. Men det kan også mareritt. En ung kvinne er blitt korsfestet kun ikledd et lite smykke rundt ankelen og alle bevisene peker i retning av Cormier. Robicheux vil gjerne tro at hans gamle venn ikke er i stand til å gjennomføre en slik kriminell handling, men Cormiers stillhet er overdøvende. Og han er ikke den eneste fra Robicheauxs fortid som kommer tilbake for å hjemsøke ham. Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.
