| Synopsis: |
James Lee Burke is best known for mystery novels in which strong male protagonists battle low-life thugs who commit violent crimes and corporate executives who exploit the powerless to amass great fortunes.

Organized alphabetically, entries provide analysis of Burke's novels and short stories; commentary on characters, places, events, and themes; and suggestions for further research. Also included are glossary offering briefer sketches of people, places, and events mentioned in the fiction, with emphasis on terms peculiar to Louisiana's Acadian population, and a selection of interviews and profiles focused on Burke and his work. |
