Synopsis
In this installment of the Dave Robicheaux series of literary mysteries, the personal and professional once again collide to devastating effect for the Louisiana detective. When Dave and his half-brother Jimmie were teenagers in 1958, Jimmie fell in love with prostitute Ida Durbin after she rescued the two young men from a Galveston Island sandbar encircled by sharks. Jimmie planned to rescue Ida from 'the game' and start a new life with her in Mexico, but Ida vanished instead. A deathbed confession from an old friend puts the present-day Dave on the twisty and extremely dangerous trail of Ida's eventual fate, as he also pursues a serial killer who may be connected to the case.

Reviews
I suspect there was an interesting plot somewhere in here, but it was just too slow for me. This book was heavy on adjectives and flowerly descriptions and light on moving the plot forward. I listened to 3 out of 10 discs and wasnt interested enough to go on.
