A Stained White Radiance

By: James Lee Burke

Narrated by: Will Patton

Detective Dave Robicheaux travels to the mountains of Montana to help his best friend and unearths a larger plot that threatens them both.

Oil speculator Weldon Sonnier is the patriarch of a troubled family intimately bound to the CIA, the Mob, and the Klan. Now, the murder of a cop and a bizarre assassination attempt pull Detective Dave Robicheaux into the Sonniers’ hellish world of madness, murder, and incest. But Robicheaux has devils of his own—and they may just destroy the tormented investigator and the two people he holds most dear.

White Radisnce

Another great book from one of my favorite authors. I never lived Lousianba, but did live in Memphis, TN. The characters in his books bring me back to my brief time in Memphis.

Good story but not enough.

It's too bad this was an abridged addition. it was difficult to follow because it had been shortened so much. I severely dislike abridged books but decided on this one because it was inexpensive and Will Peyton was the narrator. it would be nice to have the entire book one of these days. Burke's descriptions are incredible, Sorry it could not have been longer.

A DISAPPOINTMENT FROM JAMES LEE BURKE

Perhaps it is because I listened to the abridged version, but I felt the story was shallow. Love the reading by Will Patton. Would not recommend this book to others.

No bang for the bucks

To short a story. Not what I am accustomed to in Burke’s other titles. Not as much bang for the buck.

Dave Robicheaux Does What He Does Best


All the color and mystery of old Louisiana, Dave Robicheaux solves the mystery the hard way, as usual.

For me Will Patton is "the voice" of James Lee Burke, so this was perfectly narrated.
