James Lee Burke is the heavy weight champ, a great American novelist whose work, taken individually or as a whole, is unsurpassed. --#1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly"

Burke seems to get better and better with every book. During the last few years in particular, he has opened up a larger canvas to paint brilliant allegorical plots involving good and evil, money and power, Christianity and morality and in some ways he has lifted the work above the level of crime fiction in a way that is more obvious to readers. . . . ["Wayfaring Stranger"] is one of the most hopeful and ambitious books he s ever written, a sprawling historical epic full of courage and loyalty and optimism and good-heartedness that reads like an ode to the American Dream. --Benjamin Percy "Poets & Writers ""
