THE TIN ROOF BLOWDOWN: A DAVE ROBICHEAUX NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 10820007B13738
English Summary/英文概要： In the waning days of summer, 2005, a storm with greater impact than the bomb that struck Hiroshima peels the face off southern Louisiana.
This is the gruesome reality Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Detective Dave Robicheaux discovers as he is deployed to New Orleans. As James Lee Burke’s new novel, The Tin Roof Blowdown, begins, Hurricane Katrina has left the commercial district and residential neighborhoods awash with looters and predators of every stripe. The power grid of the city has been destroyed, New Orleans reduced to the level of a medieval society. There is no law, no order, no sanctuary for the infirm, the helpless, and the innocent. Bodies float in the streets and lie impaled on the branches of flooded trees. In the midst of an apocalyptical nightmare, Robicheaux must find two serial rapists, a morphine-addicted priest, and a vigilante who may be more dangerous than the criminals looting the city.
In a singular style that defies genre, James Lee Burke has created a hauntingly bleak picture of life in New Orleans after Katrina. Filled with complex characters and depictions of people at both their best and worst, The Tin Roof Blowdown is not only an action-packed crime thriller, but a poignant story of courage and sacrifice that critics are already calling Burke’s best work.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2005年的夏天一直处在警戒的状态，这场风暴几乎毁了路易斯安那南部，其影响远胜于日本广岛所受的原子弹。
对戴夫罗比乔克斯（Dave Robicheaux）说来，要被调到新奥尔良是一个可怕的现实。本书开篇，詹姆斯先就描述了卡特里娜飓风过后的惨淡情境。城市的中坚力量被破坏，新奥尔良几乎退化到了中世纪社会的水平。没有法律，没有秩序，也没有庇护所给那些长期羸弱、无助、无辜的人。尸体漂浮在大街上，卡在洪水蔓延的树枝里。在预示梦里，罗比乔克斯必须找到两个连续强奸犯，一个吗啡上瘾的牧师，一个比罪犯还可怕的妄图趁火打劫的恶棍。
单一的风格挑战同一的类型，詹姆斯为我们呈现了飓风过后新奥尔良的荒凉景象。形形色色的人物和人物潮起潮落的描述，本书不只是一本连环犯罪小说，也是一部充满勇气和牺牲精神的小说，被评论家一致评为是伯克迄今为止最佳的小说。(XJJ)
