Not sure which of Burke's is my favorite. "Dixie City Jam" was the one I read first, and I really liked it. "A Morning for Flamingos" was another good one. The one mentioned by late, "In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead", was also memorable and very enjoyable. Hard to go wrong, actually. Burke's dialogue and the way he captures the atmosphere of Louisiana is a real treat.

It's been a while since I've read anything by him or any mysteries/cop fiction by anyone. I've been on a military fiction binge for a while, Bernard Cornwell's "Richard Sharpe" series(British army in the Napoleonic era) and now Alexander Kent's "Richard Bolitho" series(British Navy around the time of the American Revolution). I recommend both those series if your tastes in books run in that direction, too.
