ReviewsPraise for Flags on the Bayou: "The Civil War comes to New Iberia, Louisiana, the capital of Burke's wondrous fictional empire... [Readers] may well agree that it's his most probing examination of the enduring legacy of slavery... A grueling, compassionate demonstration that 'the devil ain't down in a fiery pit. He's right here.'"--Kirkus (starred review) "A stunning work. Man's addiction to darkness and evil is on horrific display, yet love's fierce light shines through the poorest of souls. With a belief in God's grace and redemption, they demand the courage to seek it, against all odds. Often I had to reread a sentence or paragraph, smiling and shaking my head at the power of words assembled that evoke emotional landslides no one creates like James Lee Burke. Get this now. It will take you apart and heal you. Lord, what a magnificent book!"--Nils Lofgren, Member of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and Member of Neil Young's Crazy Horse Band Praise for James Lee Burke: "James Lee Burke is the reigning champ of nostalgia noir."--New York Times Book Review "You can always count on Burke to deliver a white-hot page-turner."--AARP Magazine "Burke's evocative prose remains a thing of reliably fierce wonder."--Entertainment Weekly "One of the finest novelists in North America."--Margaret Cannon, Globe and Mail "James Lee Burke is one of a small handful of elite suspense writers whose work transcends the genre, making the leap into capital-L Literature."--Bookpage

SynopsisA dynamic, gripping collection of short stories from "America's best novelist" (Denver Post), the New York Times bestselling James Lee Burke Harbor Lights is a story collection from one of the most popular and widely acclaimed icons of American fiction, featuring a never-before-published novella. These eight stories move from the marshlands on the Gulf of Mexico to the sweeping plains of Colorado to prisons, saloons, and trailer parks across the South, weaving together love, friendship, violence, survival, and revenge. As an atmosphere of suspicion pervades their Louisiana town, a boy and his father watch a German submarine sink an oil tanker. A girl is beaten up outside a bar as her university-professor father navigates new love and threats from a group of neo-Nazis. A pair of undercover union organizers are hired to break colts for a Hollywood actor, whose "Western hero" façade hides darkness. An oil rig worker witnesses a horrific attack on a local village while on a job in South America and seeks justice through one final act of bravery. With his nuanced characters, complex prose, and ability to write shocking violence in the most evocative settings, James Lee Burke's singular skills are on display in this superb anthology. Harbor Lights unfolds in stories that crackle and reverberate as unexpected heroes emerge.
