Crusader's Cross by James Lee Burke Book Summary

Critically acclaimed and bestselling crime writer James Lee Burke returns to Louisiana where his ever-popular hero, Dave Robicheaux, sleuths his way through a hotbed of sin and uncertainty.

For Dave Robicheaux, life in Louisiana is filled with haunting memories of the past—images from Vietnam, the violent streets of New Orleans, and his own troubled youth. In Crusader’s Cross, a deathbed confession from an old schoolmate resurrects a story of injustice, the murder of a young woman, and a time in Robicheaux’s life he has tried to forget.

Her name may or may not have been Ida Durbin. It was back in the innocent days of the 1950s when Robicheaux and his brother, Jimmie, met her on a Galveston beach. She was pretty and Jimmie fell for her hard—not knowing she was a prostitute on infamous Post Office Street, with ties to the mob. Then Ida was abducted and never seen again.

Now, decades later, Robicheaux is asking questions about Ida Durbin, and a couple of redneck deputy sheriffs make it clear that asking questions is a dangerous game. With a series of horrifying murders and the sudden appearance of Valentine Chalons and his sister, Honoria, a disturbed and deeply alluring woman, Robicheaux is soon involved not only with the Chalons family but with the murderous energies of the New Orleans underworld. Also, he meets and finds himself drawn into a scandalous relationship with a remarkable Catholic nun.

Brilliant, brooding, and filled with the author’s signature lyricism, Jim Burke’s latest novel is a darkly suspenseful work of literature.

I strongly suspect.... ... that Mr. Burke could write a 200 page novel about paint drying, or a car rusting, yet hold my attention the entire time. He is simply that good.

Typical James Burke! Great!. There’s no “what I don’t like” in this Or Any of James Burke novels. I particularly like some of his references to a war that only someone who was there could understand. His writing style really brings out various aspects of life that people can relate to. To steal the phrase , “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly “ is a fair description that I believe is the mark of a Great American writer. One thing for sure is that he’s got me Hooked!

EXCELLENT. Great storytelling. Do read this one. James Lee Burke is an excellent writer and storyteller. Love his novels and have purchased and read many of his books. Do read Burke’ Books, you will Be thoroughly satisfied. LADY PEPPER ROSE FREEPORT NEW YORK

Crusaders Cross. This is by far his best work that I have read to date!

Okay read. It was an okay read. The Robichaud series is a little formulaic, with each one reading somewhat like the previous one.

Elegant, descriptive writing. Beautiful,. Read it.

Crusaders Cross. To write a review for James Lee is like mentoring a menses member.......he is the best author of our time...his some what country plots and who dunits ...are filled with wonderful deep thought producing words that bring images to life...
