Of Flesh and Blood

James Lee Burke's Robicheaux mysteries meet Tender is the Flesh in a chewy, chilling Louisiana-set horror-thriller about cannibalism in the bayou from a Hollywood actor/screenwriter and psychiatrist writing duo The Louisiana parish of St. Landry thought they had seen the end of cannibalistic killings in 2008 with the death of the Cajun Cannibal, a flesh-eating serial killer who consumed eight victims before taking his own life. Ten years later, a forensic psychiatrist's case study into the cannibal's murders twists itself into a terrifying reckoning with monsters both figurative and literal when he discovers the two share the same cursed blood. When identical killings start happening again, questions about what really happened back then resurface, leading the psychiatrist into terrifying and dangerous levels of obsession. Told through the pages of the psychiatrist's case study, the story is part psychological horror, part serial-killer thriller.
