James Lee Burke is one of the greats of modern American mystery writing. If you don't know him this collection of stories will be a great introduction to his unique mixture of troubled cops, menacing, but interesting bad guys and poetic, affectionate and vivid descriptions of the landscapes, sights, sounds and even smells of his preferred locations of Louisiana, Texas and Montana. It's highly skilled crime storytelling, but with an engrossing descriptive dimension that really takes you there.
