Though a drug addict and general neer-do-well, Hulin just doesn't fit the profile for this kind of crime. He's a Cajun blues singer (one of his songs is titled \"Jolie Blon's Bounce\"), and he's been raised by his grandmother Ladice Hulin, a proud and strong-willed black woman. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut when there's another, similar murder--this victim a drugged-out prostitute who happens to be the daughter of one of the local mafia bigwigs--the cries for an arrest become too loud to ignore. The mafia figure, however, prefers to take matters in his own hand and sets out to find--and punish--the killer himself. Once again, Tee Bobby Hulin seems the most likely suspect. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdded to the mix of characters on the good guy side of the balance sheet is Clete Purcel, a long-time buddy of Robicheaux's and a confirmed boozer and womanizer. Coming to New Iberia for a visit, Clete is quickly drawn into the struggle between the various forces of evil in the town: Jimmy Dean Styles, a black man intent on maintaining his empire of corruption; Joe Zeroski, a trailer-park mafioso with palatial aspirations--and of course Legion Guidrey, the devil incarnate.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45355520262295,"sku":"9781982100247","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781982100247.webp?v=1769291489","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/jolie-blons-bounce-a-dave-robicheaux-novel-9781982100247","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
