All I know of it is the "In the Electric Mist" film, which did make me think I should investigate the books some time. Last crime writer I read much of was Chester Himes, so it would be a bit of a culture shift.

Those crime novels by Burke are fantastic, They led me to Robert Crais and Michael Connelly who have written some great crime fiction.

Re-reading the James Lee Burke Robicheaux series... seriously good crime books about a New Iberia detective... I think Burke pretty much started the ex-alcoholic detective genre.
