…and he's hot on the trail of two horrific murders in Jolie Blon's Bounce, the latest James Lee Burke mystery to star Dave Robicheaux, his immensely popular Louisiana detective. This two-time Edgar-winning author set out on June 4 for an extensive tour through six Western states; he'll wrap up on the 24th at Denver's Tattered Cover. After two trips back to press, Simon & Schuster reports 125,000 copies in print. Tying in with Jolie's June 10 publication is the Pocket mass market release of Burke's previous Robicheaux caper, Bitterroot (copies in print: 400,000).
