Crusaders Cross by James Lee Burke - What can I say. The man is a god. James Lee Burke has written another amazing story in his Dave Robicheaux series. Crusader's Cross tells the story of Dave and his brother Jimmy's youth. A women that rescued them from certain death and then seemed to slip through their fingers. Many years later the mystery comes back to haunt the two men. And Dave wants to get to the bottom of the story. He also needs to stop a brutal serial killer and find out why there are contracts out on his life and that of his friend Clete.
Lines I loved from this story:
•“….did all these things, and many others, in a blithe, carefree spirit, like a unicorn on purple acid crashing good-naturedly through a clock shop.”
•“massive Evangeline oak under which I first kissed Bootsie and discovered how the world could become a cathedral in the time it takes for two people to press their mouths against one another.”
•“….would forever be the Renaissance humanist, bearing his faith and optimism like a white light inside a chalice.”
•“He’s got polka dot giraffes running around in his head,but he’s the best guy I’ve ever known."
