The Tin Roof Blowdown A Dave Robicheaux Novel

Iberia Parish Sheriff's Detective Dave Robicheaux is deployed to New Orleans in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the waning days of summer 2005. The storm has reduced the city to a lawless, medieval-like society, with bodies floating in the streets and the power grid destroyed, leaving commercial districts and residential neighborhoods awash with looters and predators. In this apocalyptic landscape, Robicheaux is drawn into a complex and brutal investigation. He must hunt for two serial rapists, a morphine-addicted priest, and a vigilante whose sense of justice may be more dangerous than the criminals he pursues. The mystery deepens as the plot converges on a cache of stolen diamonds and involves a host of characters, including street thugs, a big-time mob boss, and a sadistic psychopath, all while Robicheaux grapples with his own inner demons of alcoholism and rage. The story is a haunting crime thriller and a poignant fictional chronicle of the disaster, capturing the human dimensions of suffering, courage, and depravity following the hurricane.
