The Lost Get-Back Boogie - Paperback

by James Lee Burke (Author)

Recently paroled from prison, Iry Paret becomes drawn into a tragic conflict involving an ex-convict and their neighbors in this page-turning thriller from New York Times bestselling author James Lee Burke.

Iry Paret's done his time--two years for manslaughter in Louisiana's Angola State Penitentiary. Now the war vet and blues singer is headed to Montana, where he hopes to live clean working on a ranch owned by the father of his prison pal, Buddy Riordan.

In prison, Iry tinkered with a song--"The Lost Get-Back Boogie"--that never came out quite right. Now, the Riordan family's problems hand him a new kind of trouble, with some tragic consequences. And Iry must get the tune right at last, or pay a fateful price.
