JAMES LEE BURKE chats to Paul Burke about his career, Dave Robicheaux, Flags on the Bayou, Clete, Louisiana, the Diamond Dagger, voices, fentanyl, Knights Errant and cooking for Davy Crockett.  Clete Clete Purcel - private investigator, ex-member of the New Orleans Police Department, and war veteran with a hard shell and just a few soft spots - is Dave Robicheaux's longtime friend and partner in detective work. But he has a troubled past.When Clete leaves his car at the local car wash, only to return to find it ransacked by a group of thugs tied to the drug trade from Mexican cartels to Louisiana, it feels personal - his grandniece died of a fentanyl overdose, and his fists curl when he thinks of the dealers who sold it.Just as Clete starts to trail the culprits, Clara Bow hires Clete as a detective to investigate her scheming, slippery ex-husband, and a string of brutal deaths all link back to a heavily tattooed man who seems to lurk around every corner. Clete is experiencing shockingly lifelike hallucinations and questioning Clara's ulterior motives when he and Dave start to hear rumors of a dangerous substance with potentially catastrophic effects. The thugs who destroyed his car might have been pawns in a scheme far darker than they could've imagined.JAMES LEE BURKE is the author of many novels, and the critically-acclaimed, bestselling Detective Dave Robicheaux series. He won the Edgar Award for both Cimarron Rose and Black Cherry Blues, and Sunset Limited was awarded the CWA Gold Dagger.

568. We welcome author Lisa Wingate to the podcast to discuss her novel, Book of Lost Friends. “From the bestselling author of Before We Were Yours comes a dramatic historical novel of three young women searching for family amid the destruction of the post–Civil War South, and of a modern-day teacher who learns of their story and its vital connection to her students' lives” (NYT). "Louisiana, 1875: In the tumultuous era of Reconstruction, three young women set off as unwilling companions on a perilous quest: Hannie, a freed slave; Lavinia, the pampered heir to a now destitute plantation; and Juneau Jane, Lavinia's Creole half sister. Each carries private wounds and powerful secrets as they head for Texas, following roads rife with vigilantes and soldiers still fighting a war lost a decade before. For Lavinia and Juneau Jane, the journey is one of stolen inheritance and financial desperation, but for Hannie, torn from her mother and siblings before slavery's end, the pilgrimage west reignites an agonizing question: Could her long-lost family still be out there? Beyond the swamps lie the limitless frontiers of Texas and, improbably, hope" (Wingate). This week in Louisiana history. April 6 1764 First Acadians actually arrived in Louisiana.

Einstein Flint is an ex-rodeo rider, born in Brooklyn and raised in every other borough in the city. Now, he's banged-up, burnt out and back in NYC, bouncing at Boom Boom's. Dasha Bragin was smart, fearless and…remorseless as desert sun. But now she's dead and the cops are pretty sure Flint is their guy. Flint and Dasha had been a couple before the cops found her body, damaged in ways that don't allow the next breath. When word on the street gets out that Flint had brought somebody into town to kill her, the police are even more certain they have their man. Flint learns the street chatter is coming from people that Flint thought were his friends—he's not sure who he can trust or why he's being setup. Flint finds the first loose thread when Dasha's roommate, Mya, shows up at his door looking for help. Dasha and Mya, had taken off a private, high stakes game for almost a million dollars and then left a trail of bread crumbs. But they had picked the wrong game—these boys would kill you for insulting their sister. Take their money? They would pull you apart, one thin layer at a time…until the only thing between you and dead was that wishes don't come true. Einstein has to find a path to the real killers and take them down without becoming part of the body count.Boom Boom's Last Call is influenced by characters like James Sallis' Lew Griffin, Robert Crais's Elvis Cole and a young Dave Robicheaux—men who know that words like honor and duty have become a punch line…but they just don't get the jokeSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

La voz 'Adalid' se deriva del árabe 'delid' que significa mostrador, ya que enseñaba el Camino y lideraba. Un Adalid de Luz es un Guía, un Guerrero de Luz que saca lo mejor de sí mismo y se compromete a expandirlo iluminando todo aquello que se encuentra a su Paso. Dave Robicheaux nos demuestra que la Moral y la Conciencia son Indispensables para hacer el Bien en este mundo y ser Justos, ya que si no somos capaces de Comprender, Aceptar y Asimilar que la Vida mejora cuando hacemos Consciente nuestra Luz Interior, únicamente seguiremos dando vueltas y vueltas en el mismo bucle en el que nos hemos metido al Aceptar ese "todo vale" tan cómodo que sólo agranda los problemas... Hay que estar preparado para ser odiado, ridiculizado, y abandonado cuando uno hace lo Correcto, ya que al hacerlo (lo Correcto), uno expone las malas acciones de otros y eso no suele gustar... Pero debemos Concienciarnos de que sólo haciendo lo Correcto, no lo "fácil", ni lo que me "dé la gana", sino lo que es Bueno podremos Avanzar hacia un mundo mejor y Cambiar este paradigma obsoleto en que vivimos... Recordad que el Mundo de los Espíritus y el Plano Físico están entrelazados e interactúan constantemente, por lo que no es de extrañar que, en ocasiones, algunos de ellos nos ayuden a Crecer y en otras, nos intenten derribar... Protección Siempre y Consciencia de su Naturaleza. Tirad del Hilo y Expandid vuestra Luz al Máximo, Adalides, pues las opciones son INFINITAS! Que todo os Impulse en vuestra Búsqueda de la Verdad y, cuando la Encontréis, Convertíos en Ella, pues no es únicamente Saberla sino Aplicarla a cada Acción de nuestra Rutina. Dando Ejemplo. Abrazo Apretao, Adalides!!

Southern Comfort (1981) / In the Electric Mist (2009) This week we're trudging through the bayou with The National Guard and Dave Robicheaux as we try to solve murders with Bertrand Tavernier and hope to survive with Walter Hill

From quite early in her life, Peg O'Connor felt a “double dose of shame” - from her lesbian identity on one hand, and her struggles with alcohol on the other. Her drinking problems almost got her expelled from high school, but instead she was able to stop. In her view, philosophy helped her immensely to get and stay sober, especially considering how she was not fully on board with traditional religious views or with Alcoholics Anonymous.Peg eventually became a philosophy professor, studying Wittgenstein, ethics, and feminist philosophy, and for decades she remained abstinent from alcohol. But then, 19 years into her recovery, searching for “something more,” she got more curious about 12-step recovery. At the same time, she turned her academic focus to face addiction more directly, and since then she has been writing about some of the most challenging ideas about recovery, such as surrender, powerlessness, spirituality, and “higher powers.”For this episode of Flourishing After Addiction, I was excited to speak with Peg about her most recent book, Higher and Friendly Powers, a compulsively readable, clear, and humane exploration of the notion of “Higher Powers,” using the philosopher and psychologist William James as a guide. It's great fun. I hope you enjoy.Peg O'Connor is Professor of Philosophy at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. She is the author of the forthcoming book, Higher and Friendly Powers: Transforming Addiction and Suffering (Wildhouse Publications) and Life on the Rocks: Finding Meaning in Addiction and Recovery (Central Recovery Press, 2016). A recovering alcoholic, she believes philosophy has much to offer people who struggle. You can find her at her faculty page and her author website (

The Authors on the Air Global Radio Network is proud to present this exclusive IN CONVERSATION interview with American's legendary writer JAMES LEE BURKE and writing instructor, author and former private investigator DAVID CORBETT. James Lee Burke is an American author, best known for his Dave Robicheaux series. He has won Edgar Awards for Black Cherry Blues and Cimarron Rose, and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. JLB's 40th book, THE PRIVATE CATHERAL: The Shondell and Balangie families are longtime enemies in the New Iberia criminal underworld and show each other no mercy. Yet their youngest heirs, Johnny Shondell and Isolde Balangie, rock and roll-musician teenagers with magical voices, have fallen in love and run away after Isolde was given as a sex slave to Johnny’s father. As he seeks to uncover why, Detective Dave Robicheaux gets too close to both Isolde’s mother and the mistress of her father, a venomous New Orleans mafioso whose jealousy has no bounds. In retribution, he hires a mysterious assassin to go after Robicheaux and his longtime partner, Clete Purcel. This hitman is unlike any the “Bobbsey Twins from Homicide” have ever faced. He has the ability to induce horrifying hallucinations and travels on a menacing ghost ship that materializes without warning. In order to defeat him and rescue Johnny and Isolde, Robicheaux will have to overcome the demons that have tormented him throughout his adult life—alcoholism, specters from combat in Vietnam, and painful memories of women to whom he opened his heart only to see killed. www.jamesleeburke.com David Corbett is the author of six critically acclaimed novels.

Den tjueandre romanen om Dave Robicheaux er lansert. Ikke bare er forfatteren 82 år gammel, «The New Iberia Blues» er blant hans beste. Til nå, mener anmelder Leif Ekle. Her i samtale med programleder Cille Biermann i Åpen bok.

James Lee Burke’s literary triumph was long in coming — but once he introduced New Orleans detective Dave Robicheaux in the 1987 novel The Neon Rain, he quickly became both one of the most acclaimed American crime writers, and an irreplaceable chronicler of the Crescent City’s unique culture and history. His latest novel, titled simply Robicheaux, returns his beloved but battled-scarred hero to a murky world where business, politics and crime intersect. In this episode, James Lee Burke talks with Bill Tipper about his love of New Orleans and the long strange road to becoming an American classic.

Bestseller James Lee Burke is one of America's most beloved crime writers, with 36 novels and two short story collections to his name. The latest novel in his Dave Robicheaux series, ROBICHEAUX, is "another 15 rounds of high-fatality crime, alcohol-soaked ruminations, and heaven-storming prose," according to our reviewer. And the authors of CAN I TOUCH YOUR HAIR? POEMS OF RACE, MISTAKES AND FRIENDSHIP, Irene Latham and Charles Waters, both join the podcast to talk about their unique collaboration on this children's book. We also welcome our new Young Adult Editor, Laura Simeon, as the editors talk this week about the publishing trends they hope disappear in 2018!
