Summary: More Of the Same
Review: Whether it's Billy Bob Holland or Dave Robicheaux, it really doesn't matter, James Lee Burke always seems to manage to make the story compelling.

This time it's Billy Bob, the ex-Texas Ranger turned lawyer. The setting, however, is a little different. Billy Bob travels north to the Bitterroot Valley, Montana and becomes embroiled in the problems of an old friend there.

As if the problems he's stumbled onto weren't enough, a psychopath who is convinced that Billy Bob is responsible for his sister's death has also followed him.

Billy Bob Holland is a tortured soul who is having trouble dealing with his past while, at the same time, trying to ensure his own safety now. Like the other James Lee Burke books, there is no shortage of action and intrigue mixed with a very interesting, while troubled, main character.
