while battling earthly and supernatural outlaws.Novelist Aaron Holland
Broussard is shattered when his daughter Fannie Mae dies suddenly. As he
tries to honor her memory by saving two young men from a life of crime amid

posing as evangelicals, and a murderer who has been hiding in plain sight.
Aaron’s only ally is state police officer Ruby Spotted Horse, a no-nonsense
woman who harbors some powerful secrets in her cellar. Despite the air of
mystery surrounding her, Ruby is the only one Aaron can trust. That is,
until the ghost of Fannie Mae shows up, guiding her father through a
tangled web of the present and past and helping him vanquish his foes from
both this world and the next. Drawn from James Lee Burke’s own life
experiences, Every Cloak Rolled in Blood is a devastating exploration of
the nature of good and evil and a deeply moving story about the power of
love and family. Read more
