He’s best known for two series. One is about the Holland family that’s featured in this program about “The House of the Rising Sun.”  We chatted about this book several years ago.

The other series that he is best known for features former New Orleans police officer Dave Robicheaux. His continuing story has been told in two dozen books. #24 is “Clete,” published this year.

Another 2024 title is “Harbor Lights,” a book of 8 short stories that move from the marshlands on the Gulf of Mexico to the sweeping plains of Colorado.
