Dixie City Jam book description
It’s out there, under the salt of the Gulf of Mexico, off the Louisiana coast — a buried Nazi submarine.
Detective Dave Robicheaux of the New Iberia Sheriff’s office has known of its existence since childhood, when he was terrified by nightmares of the evil Nazi sailors just offshore. Then, as a teenager he stumbled upon the sunken sub while scuba diving — but for years he kept the secret of its watery grave.
But decades later, a powerful Jewish activist wants the sub raised, and Robicheaux’s knowledge puts him at the center of a terrifying struggle of conflicting desires.
A neo-Nazi psychopath named Will Buchalter, who insists that the Holocaust was a hoax, wants to find the submarine first — and he’ll stop at nothing to get Robicheaux to talk.
