Author Bio
James Lee Burke
Though he began his writing career writing literary novels, James Lee Burke turned to writing popular mysteries in 1987, with a series of novels featuring New Orleans ex-cop Dave Robichaux. After his wife and father are murdered, Robichaux explores the darker sides of New Orleans from the perspective of a man who has been around the block a few times. Burke's hard-boiled prose style has earned him legions of fans, numerous bestsellers, critical acclaim, and an Edgar Award for best novel.
Praise
Baltimore Sun
"..Burke's trademark steely prose propels this story.... Few writers can match the menace of Burke's weird villains, and rodeo circus clown Wyatt Dixon is one of Burke's best." 06/03/2001 Washington Post
"I'm not saying BITTERROOT isn't fun to read. I woke up at four in the morning to finish it off. But if smoldering bodies drenched in kerosene, and people getting snapped in the face over and over again by one of those baseball-pitching machines doesn't appeal to you, I'd steer clear, and look for something marginally more 'civilized.'" - Carolyn See 06/01/2001 Entertainment Weekly
"BITTERROOT resonates with a chilling timelessness.... [A]ll...sins are forgiven when Burke spins his beautifully crafted prose." - Bruce Fretts 06/22/01 San Francisco Chronicle
"Burke is in typically good form for most of this book, and his ear for dialogue remains one of his strongest assets." - David Lazarus 07/01/2001 Salon
"...Burke fans will enjoy the mix of testosterone, spirituality, lust and longing in BITTERROOT..." - Joan Walsh 07/15/2001
