From Publishers Weekly
A two-time Edgar Award winner, Burke touches on a variety of hot-button issues sure to thrill his fans in his first book since last year's Purple Cane Road. The author's popular protagonist, Texas attorney Billy Bob Holland, travels to big sky country for some fishing with Doc Voss, a friend who's relocated to Montana's Bitterroot Valley after his wife's death. Soaring descriptions of the majestic setting contrast sharply with the evil doings of the people who live there. Doc has made some powerful enemies in his campaign against a mining venture he believes would harm the economy and the pristine countryside. The stakes rise when his teenage daughter is raped in her bedroom. The rapists could be any of the white supremacists who live in the woods, randy bikers on the prowl, strange members of a conservative religious cult or even the Native Americans eking out a substandard living on the local reservation. Billy Bob and Doc also have to contend with celebrities wanting to experience "country life," organized crime figures, government agents and a sinister, recently paroled felon who blames Billy Bob for his wife's death. To top it off, Billy Bob suffers from guilt over the accidental killing of his best friend as well as nightmarish memories of Vietnam. It's only a matter of time before the powder keg blows. Those who relish Burke's patented mix of supercharged violence and overheated passions are in for a treat. (June 18)Forecast: While not quite in the same league as Purple Cane Road, this entry is likely to scale bestseller lists as well.

This was my 1st Burke book. I am reserving this for a CD audio bookbox.

Going into bigjohnlefty,s audio box

Am putting this into my CD-only audiobookbox.... Hope this finds a good home!

I love James Lee Burke but I've always been more interested in the New Orleans based series. I'm looking forward to starting this new series.

Burke's latest books are just too violent for me, hopefully someone else will like it. For bigJohn's bookbox.

Taken from the BigJohnLefty audio book box.

Media mail to Imawinn for the BigJohnLefty audio book VBB

I picked this out from The BigJohnLefty VBB. Thanks for sending it my way.

This is the second book I have "read" by author James Lee Burke. I like his western murder mysteries. Bitterroot features the former Texas Ranger and now lawyer, Billy Bob Holland, and his friend Doc Voss. Billy Bob finds himself a target as a prison parolee is out for revenge, blaming the lawman for putting him behind bars and killing his sister. "Doc" has made enemies, in his Montana town, by lobbying publicly against a local mining corporation. Danger draws near and bodies mount as this tale of corruption and brutal murders unfold.

Releasing this audiobook into HI77's Audiobook Bookbox. Happy Travels!
