Summary:
Dave Robicheaux has spent his lifestyle confronting the age-old adage that the sins of the father pass on towards the boy. But what was his mother’s legacy? Deceased to him since his youngsters, Mae Guillory has been shuttered aside in the deep recesses of Robicheaux’s mind. He’s lived with the actual fact that he’d never really know what occurred to the girl who left him to the devices of the whiskey-driven father. But deep down, Dave still seems the increased loss of his mom and understands that the infinite group of about Crimson Cane Street disappointments in her life could not have come to a good end.
While helping out an old friend, Dave is stunned whenever a pimp looks at him sideways and asks if he’s the son of Mae Guillory, the whore a bunch of cops murdered thirty years ago. Her body was dumped in the bayou bordering Crimson Cane Road, and the cops who left her you may still find face to face.
Dave’s search for his mother’s killers leads him to the darker locations in his past, and resolving this case teaches him what it means to be his mother’s child. Purple Cane Road has the proportions of a vintage — enthusiasm, murder, and almost heartbreaking poignancy — wrapped within a wonderfully carried out story that surprises from begin to finish.
