For Louisiana detective Dave Robicheaux, the veil between worlds has always been shimmeringly thin. Whether it’s a pirogue bearing the smiling ghosts of his parents down the bayou or a troop of boys in butternut from a war lost a century and a half ago marching out of the mist, he takes the other side in stride.
In A Private Cathedral, Dave tumbles through that veil into a world of myth and mystery that’s as violent as the one we call real.
