In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead by James Lee Burke

When the body of a murdered young woman surfaces in the Louisiana bayou, detective Dave Robicheaux is pulled into a case that blurs the line between past and present. Haunted by his own ghosts and visions of long-dead Confederate soldiers, Robicheaux must unravel a web of corruption, vengeance, and supernatural echoes that reach deep into the heart of the South. Burke’s prose burns with atmosphere and moral intensity, painting a world where violence lingers like fog and redemption is as elusive as the truth itself.
