In The Electric Mist

New Iberia, Lt. Dave Robicheaux is trying to link the murder of a local hooker to New Orleans mobster Julie (Baby Feet) Balboni, who is co-producer of a Civil War film. Film-star Elrod Sykes, pulled over for drunk driving, starts babbling about finding another corpse back in the Atchafalaya Swamp, presumably of a black man Robicheaux had seen being murdered 35 years before but didn't go to the police.
