Within this intense, fascinating story, Burke follows the lives of three young Louisiana men, each of whom finds himself in desperate circumstances. There's Avery Broussard, the last survivor of a family of once-prosperous land owners, who may have a weakness for alcohol; J.P. Winfield, a poor singer and guitar player who rises to fame as a country music star, and then be destroyed by drug addiction; and Toussaint Boudreaux, a black longshoreman who moonlights as a heavyweight boxer. The destinies of the men are tragically intertwined in this debut novel that showcases Burke's masterful and now-familiar style.
