Dixie City Jam

Off the Louisiana coast, beneath the salt water of the Gulf of Mexico, lies a buried Nazi submarine. Detective Dave Robicheaux of the New Iberia Sheriff's office has known about it since childhood, when nightmares of evil Nazi sailors just offshore terrified him. As a teenager scuba diving in the Gulf, he came across the sunken sub itself, and for years he kept the secret of its watery grave.

Decades later, a powerful Jewish activist wants the submarine raised, and what Robicheaux knows places him at the center of a dangerous clash of conflicting desires. A neo-Nazi psychopath named Will Buchalter, who insists the Holocaust was a hoax, wants to find the wreck first, and he will stop at nothing to make Robicheaux talk.

Dixie City Jam is the seventh novel in James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux series. It is a story of terror and courage set in southern Louisiana, where the horrific and the beautiful grow from the same fertile soil.
