James Lee Burke is one of my favorite authors, and his new novel, A Private Cathedral, takes his popular series character, Dave Robicheaux, into a strange, new experience. This time, Burke blends genres, adding a seemingly supernatural villain to a mystery/detective/crime story. Publisher's Weekly gave this book, Burke's 23rd novel, a starred review, and it deserves it.

In this outing, two criminal families continue a violent, long time feud, and Robicheaux and his PI sidekick, Clete Purcell, face off against a frightening, time-traveling golem--yes, really.

Don't miss this one.
