13. The Neon Rain–James Lee Burke

     

Davve Robicheaux is a New Orleans homicide cop. When he fishes a dead prostitute out of a near by bayou, he determines to find out who killed her and why, despite the fact no one else seems to care.

Lots of atmosphere, very much true to New Orleans and its environs, Dave is gritty and not quite straight much like his city. He’s determined and stubborn and willing to do what he thinks needs to be done, even if it isn’t legal.

This was an audio version of the book, and I especially liked the narrator. He ddin’t overdo the accent, as so many people do for southern stories.
