Glad to.

I'd suggest , in the Robicheaux series, best to read in timeline order - although they are fine stand alone - so, "The Neon Rain" , followed by "Heaven's Prisoners". You'll know after "Neon.." if you're in it for the long haul !
There are at present 19 Robicheaux, all with Louisiana as a backdrop.The strangest is " In the Electric Mist With Confederate Dead" but build up to it ! (Around 6th I think.)

His other works are absolutely on a par, " The Convict and Other Stories", "The Lost Get Back Boogie" (nominated Pullitzer), the Billy Bob stories......
This is his book list :-

I wish you many hours of discovery - I find myself getting through the canon around every couple of years, and still enjoy them........
( I also do this with the Harry Bosch series, but not as often....)

Bon voyage !
