Als Dave Robicheaux erfährt, dass sein Ex-Partner Clete Purcel wegen Körperverletzung und Widerstands gegen die Staatsgewalt im Gefängnis sitzt, ist es für ihn klar, dass er ihn da rausholen muss.
Doch Cletes jüngste Eskapaden sind nicht nur beunruhigend, weil sie zeigen, dass seine inneren Dämonen dabei sind, die Oberhand zu gewinnen, sie bringen auch einige Dämonen in Dave's Leben, und das auf die persönlichste Art und Weise, die man sich vorstellen kann.

Klappentext zu „The Glass Rainbow “
Dave Robicheaux is on the trail of a serial killer, while trying to protect his daughter from a boyfriend with a dark side, in the eighteenth novel in James Lee Burke's classic series.
When Dave Robicheaux gets the call saying his ex-partner Clete Purcel is in jail for felony assault and resisting arrest, bailing him out is instinctive. After all, Clete is the man who saved Dave's life by carrying him down a fire escape with two bullets in his back. But Clete's latest escapade isn't just worrying because it shows his demons are gaining the upper hand; it also brings some of those demons into Dave's life, in the most personal way possible.
The man Clete assaulted, a big-time pimp and meth dealer is a suspect in the murder of a series of young women - but his criminal activities are hidden behind his involvement in a charity aimed at getting young women off the streets. As Dave probes the charity further, he finds that its main sponsor is the smooth-talking scionof a wealthy family, and a man whose motives Dave instinctively mistrusts. He also happens to be Dave's daughter's boyfriend.

Rezension zu „The Glass Rainbow “
With the atmosphere as thick as the fug of Louisiana's swamps, Burke displays a poetic vein that sets him apart from most crime writers. He also knows how to tell a cracking story. MAIL ON SUNDAY A deeply lyrical howl of outrage from a master. CATHOLIC HERALD A superior piece of crime fiction. SUNDAY BUSINESS POST
