The townspeople of New Iberia, LA, didn't crucify Megan Flynn's father. They just didn't catch whoever pinned him to a barn wall with sixteen-penny nails. Decades later, Megan, now a world-famous photojournalist, has come back to the bayou, looking for cop Dave Robicheaux. It was Dave who found the body of labor leader Jack Flynn. The sight changed the boy, shaped him as a man. And after forty years, Robicheaux is still haunted by the bizarre unsolved slaying. Now Megan's return has stirred up the ghosts of the long-buried past, igniting a storm of violence that will rip apart lives of blacks and whites in this bayou county. ( ) When I first read a Dave Robicheaux novel, I thought Burke was a fantastic writer. Now, after a hiatus of maybe 10 yrs, I am disappointed in this book. Robicheaux is a man with a lot of submerged anger that is definitely coming out in this book. He goes around beating up petty criminals, accusing people he doesn't like of crimes, and it all seems pretty random. There is no clear line of discovery for the reader, we don't get inside his mind to see why he keeps changing who he suspects of a 40 yr old murder. He keeps trying to tie it in to current events, but it doesn't come across well. I actually haven't finished the last 40 pages, as I write this review, but don't expect my opinion to change. Aus der Amazon.de-Redaktion Der brutale Mord an zwei Farbigen im Mississippi-Delta bringt Detective Robicheaux einen ungeklärten Fall in Erinnerung, der bereits vierzig Jahre zurückliegt. Die Spur führt zu dem Rassisten Guidry, der mit beiden Verbrechen in Verbindung zu stehen scheint. Doch Guidry wird selbst umgebracht. Sumpffieber ist der Titel des überaus spannenden und atmosphärischen Südstaatenkrimis aus der Feder des Edgar-Allan-Poe-Preisträgers James Lee Burke. --Ulrich Deurer Kurzbeschreibung Schauplatz dieses Thrillers ist eine Kleinstadt im Süden der USA. Als Dave Robicheaux erfährt, daß Megan Flynn und ihr Bruder wieder in die Stadt zurückgekehrt sind, sagt ihm sein untrüglicher Instinkt sofort, daß dies nur Ärger bedeuten kann. Der Vater der Geschwister Flynn wurde vor Jahren brutal vom Klan ermordet, die Täter aber nie zu Rechenschaft gezogen. Was die beiden sich von ihrer Rückkehr versprechen, fragt sich nicht nur Dave... 3.0 von 5 Sternen James Lee Burke's neunter Roman mit Dave Robicheaux, 26. März 2000 Von Ein Kunde Rezension bezieht sich auf: Sumpffieber. (Broschiert) Nach "Neonregen" (The Neon Rain, 1987), "Blut in den Bayous" (Heaven's Prisoners, 1988), "Black Cherry Blues" (Black Cherry Blues, 1989), "Flamingo" (A Morning for Flamingos, 1990), "Weißes Leuchten" (A Stained White Radiance, 1992), "Im Schatten der Mangroven" (In the Electric Dust with Confederate Dead, 1993), "Im Dunkel des Deltas" (Burning Angel, 1995) und "Nacht über dem Bayou" (Cadillac Jukebox, 1996) liegt mit "Sumpffieber" (Goldmann 44509 - Sunset Limited, 1998) ein neuer Roman von James Lee Burke mit seinem Detektiv Dave Robicheaux vor. Wie in den vorangegangenen Romanen spielt auch dieser im Süden der USA. Als Junge hat Dave Robicheaux zusammen mit seinem Vater den gekreuzigten Bürgerrechtler James Flynn aufgefunden, dessen Tod nie aufgeklärt werden konnte. Nach 40 Jahren wird dieser Fall wieder aus dem Archiv geholt, als zwei Schwarze ermordet wurden und ein Verdächtiger von damals wieder verdächtigt wird. Die Ermittlungen von Dave Robicheaux führen ihn in ein Labyrinth von Beziehungen im Sumpf des Südens. Nach Durchackern dieses Geflechts gelingt es ihm, die beiden Fälle zu lösen. Weniger wäre dabei mehr gewesen. Mit einer geradlinigeren Story ohne so - wie in diesem Buch - in die Breite zu gehen, hätte "Sumpffieber" deutlich gewonnen. This is the 10th in the series and Burke never misses. Just one great thriller after another. If you've never read his books you are in for a treat. Back Cover Blurb: Jack Flynn died on a Klan cross years ago, but Dave Robicheaux has never forgotten it. Nor have Flynn's two children. When they get mixed up with the case of a small time hustler named Cool Breeze Broussard, Robicheaux can't see why. As the Flynns find themselves deeper and deeper in trouble, Detective Robicheaux finds himself trying to keep Cool Breeze alive. Something ties Breeze to the Flynns and all three of them to local plantation magnate Archer Terrebonne. Something long past is poisoning all their lives, bringing death in its wake. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
