Travel Guide
BookTrail Travel to Lousiana Bayou Country
New Iberia
Robicheaux and his wife live on a boat here. He has now returned to the town after being away to work for the local police department.
This is Bayou country as described and evoked in the book. The author takes us to the steamy bayous and back roads of southern Louisiana where life is never what you think. The humidity, heat, vast expanse of landscape is a unique setting for this crime fiction.
New Orleans
The city where he works comes to life in every way. From the famous Bourbon Street where the jazz bars are, to the donuts and coffee on Decatur Street to the police stations, this is a city which moves, dances, shoots and thrills.
