In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead – film adaptation

Mystery author James Lee Burke‘s series character Dave Robicheaux is for many readers, the quintessential tough nosed, hard drinking, self destructive detective.  A policeman who sometimes plays a little outside the rules in order to bring justice to his world, to right the wrongs inflicted on the vulnerable and innocent.   This character obviously resonates with readers as the series is now up to 17 titles.
