A Stained White Radiance

The fifth gripping novel in the highly acclaimed Dave Robicheaux series.

A bullet shot through the window of Weldon Sonniers house propels Dave Robicheaux back into the lives of a family hes not sure he wants to be reacquainted with ... Weldon Sonniers CIA-influenced past has led to dangerous connections and commitments, including debts to local mob boss Joey Meatballs Gouza. As Weldon puts himself in the line of fire, Lyle Sonnier, television evangelist and faith healer, reveals to Dave a violent family history that intersects menacingly with Daves own.

But overshadowing the manoeuvres of Gouzas gang is the spectre of racial politics, and it is former Klansman Bobby Earl who will prove to be Dave Robicheauxs most elusive enemy.
