NP - Treme

[jochen stremmel]

I'm not really sorry to say this, Mark and Keith and David, but the
best novels James Lee Burke wrote are The Neon Rain and Black Cherry
Blues. My personal favorite is A Morning for Flamingos, perhaps
because I edited the German translation. The rest is okay, but nowhere
near as good as let's say Miami Blues or Killshot.
