Includes an exclusive interview with James Lee Burke! New York Times best retailer James Lee Burke returns along with his latest masterpiece, the story of a dad and son separated by conflict and scenario - and whose encounter with the famous Holy Grail changes their lives forever. From its starting scene in groundbreaking Mexico to the Challenge of the Marne in 1918, and on to the bordellos and saloons of San Antonio during the reign of the Hole in the Wall structure Gang, House of the Rising Sun can be an epic story of love, damage, betrayal, vengeance, and retribution that follows Tx Ranger Hackberry Holland on his journey to reunite along with his estranged child, Ishmael, a captain in the United States Army. After having a violent encounter that leaves four Mexican soldiers deceased, Hackberry escapes the united states in possession of a taken artifact, making the ire of an bloodthirsty Austrian hands supplier who then places Hack's child, Ishmael, squarely in the crosshairs of an plot to recapture his prize, believed to be the mythic cup of Christ. Along the way, we meet three outstanding women: Ruby Dansen, the Danish immigrant who is Ishmael's mother and Hackberry's one true love; Beatrice DeMolay, a brothel madam descended from the crusader knight who brought the shroud of Turin back again from the Holy Land; and Maggie Bassett, one-time enthusiast of the Sundance Youngster, whose wiles rival those of Sweetheart Macbeth. In her own way, each female will help Hackberry in his goal to reconcile with Ishmael, to vanquish their foes, and to return the Grail to its rightful place. House of the Rising Sunshine is James Lee Burke's finest novel as of yet and a thrilling entry in to the Holland family saga that sustained most recently with Wayfaring Stranger, which the New York Times Reserve Review described as "saturated with the love of days gone by while mournfully attuned to the unholy menace of today's".
