Elle s’appelait Mae Robicheaux, née Guillory. Elle avait quitté son foyer pour fuir un mari alcoolique, alors que son fils n’était encore qu’un gamin. Elle était devenue serveuse dans une boîte de Purple Cane Road et, un jour, avait trouvé la mort à quelques kilomètres de là, dans des circonstances jamais éclaircies.
C’est le meurtre d’un petit maquereau nommé Zipper Clum qui fait remonter toute l’histoire à la surface, et c’est ainsi que Dave Robicheaux se met en quête des assassins de sa mère.
Émouvante plongée dans le passé du personnage fétiche de James Lee Burke, Purple Cane Road est l’un des chefs d’œuvre de l’auteur.
