A Stained White Radiance

Summary

A bullet through a windowpane brings Louisiana cop Dave Robicheaux back in contact with the Sonnier family, childhood friends whose morality is permanently scarred by a history of abuse: Welton Sonnier, once a pilot for the CIA-backed Air America and now the target of the attack; Lyle Sonnier, television evangelist and faith healer who was in Vietnam with Robicheaux; and Drew Sonnier, a girl-woman whose bitter past has brought her to more than a few beds, including Robicheaux’s. Together they form an extraordinarily close-knit family whose carefully guarded secrets make it almost impossible for Robicheaux to protect them.
