New York Timesbestseller and ‘one of the finest crime writer’s America has ever produced’ James Lee Burke returns with his latest masterpiece, the story of a father and son separated by war.From its opening scene in revolutionary Mexico to the Battle of the Marne in 1918, and on to the bordellos and saloons of San Antonio during the reign of the Hole in the Wall Gang,House of the Rising Sunis an epic tale of love, loss, betrayal, vengeance, and retribution that follows Texas Ranger Hackberry Holland on his journey to reunite with his estranged son, Ishmael, a captain in the United States Army.After a violent encounter that leaves four Mexican soldiers dead, Hackberry escapes the country in possession of a stolen artifact, earning the ire of a bloodthirsty Austrian arms dealer who then places Hack’s son Ishmael squarely in the cross hairs of a plot to recapture his prize, believed to be the mythic cup of Christ.Along the way, we meet three extraordinary women: Ruby Dansen, the Danish immigrant who is Ishmael’s mother and Hackberry’s one true love; Beatrice DeMolay, a brothel madam descended from the crusader knight who brought the shroud of Turin back from the Holy Land; and Maggie Bassett, one-time lover of the Sundance Kid, whose wiles rival those of Lady Macbeth. In her own way, each woman will aid Hackberry in his quest to reconcile with Ishmael, to vanquish their enemies, and to return the Grail to its rightful place.Praise for one of the great American crime writers, James Lee Burke:’James Lee Burke is the heavyweight champ, a great American novelist whose work, taken individually or as a whole, is unsurpassed.’ Michael Connelly’A gorgeous prose stylist.’ Stephen King’Richly deserves to be described now as one of the finest crime writers America has ever produced.’Daily MailFans of Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly and Don Winslow will love James Lee Burke:Hackberry Holland Series1.Lay Down My Sword and Shield2.Rain Gods3.Feast Day of Fools4.House of the Rising SunDave Robicheaux Series1.The Neon Rain2.Heaven’s Prisoners3.Black Cherry Blues4.A Morning for Flamingos5.A Stained White Radiance6.In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead7.Dixie City Jam8.Burning Angel9.Cadillac Jukebox10.Sunset Limited11.Purple Cane Road12.Jolie Blon’s Bounce13.Last Car to Elysian Fields14.Crusader’s Cross15.Pegasus Descending16.The Tin Roof Blowdown17.Swan Peak18.The Glass Rainbow19.Creole Belle20.Light of the World21.RobicheauxBilly Bob Holland Series1.Cimarron Rose2.Heartwood3.Bitterroot4.In The Moon of Red Ponies* Each James Lee Burke novel can be read as a standalone or in series order *
