Black Cherry Blues, by James Lee Burke
Former New Orleans homicide detective Dave Robicheaux copes with the horror of his wife’s murder and his own alcoholism by living a quiet life on the bayou running a fishing operation and caring for his six-year-old daughter, Alafair, until an old classmate and famous blues musician asks him to investigate possible oil industry-related murders in detective series mystery BLACK CHERRY BLUES. When Alafair is threatened, Robicheaux retaliates. Now he must comb the wild Montana countryside and solve those murders to clear himself of an unjust homicide charge and save his daughter from a sadistic killer.
