After a violent encounter that leaves four Mexican soldiers dead, Texas Ranger Hackberry Holland escapes the country in possession of a stolen artifact believed to be the mythic cup of Christ, earning the ire of a bloodthirsty Austrian arms dealer who places Hack’s son, Ishmael, squarely in the cross hairs of a plot to recapture his prize.
On the journey from revolutionary Mexico in 1918 to the saloons of San Antonio during the Hole in the Wall Gang’s reign, we meet three extraordinary women: the Danish immigrant who is Ishmael’s mother and Hackberry’s one true love; a brothel madam descended from the Crusader knight who brought the Shroud of Turin back from the Holy Land; and a onetime lover of the Sundance Kid, whose wiles rival those of Lady Macbeth. In her own way, each woman will aid Hack in his quest to reconcile with Ishmael, to vanquish their enemies, and to return the Grail to its rightful place.
An epic tale of love, loss, betrayal, vengeance, and retribution, The House of the Rising Sun further cements Burke’s reputation as “one of America’s all-time masters” (New York Journal of Books).

Where does House of the Rising Sun rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
House of the Rising Sun ranks in the top 10 among all the audiobooks I've listened to. I listen to at least 2 audiobooks each month as I hand stitch embroidery or quilts. .What other book might you compare House of the Rising Sun to and why?
I feel it could only be compared to another unabridged James Lee Burke book. Mr. Burke is a true wordsmith, painting pictures I feel you just don't get with other authors. You can not only visualize the scenery but at times you'll smell the atmosphere when he describes it. I've never had that experience with another author.What does Will Patton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
It was suggested to me by another fan that in order to fully experience the Dave Robicheaux series by James Lee Burke I needed to listen to Will Patton narrate them.He was correct: Wow: I'm originally from the south and it was like going home again. Mr. Patton's southern accent is perfect. I was an instant fan. I've ever written to authors and suggested that Mr. Patton would be the perfect narrator for their series.
As I've listened to him read other books, and especially this 'Hackberry Holland' series, I've come to realize that he brings a depth and understanding to the words that Mr. Burke puts on paper that other narrators sometimes miss. He becomes the conduit for the words, but you're the one who is the part of the story, and what is going on. You hear him, but he's not intrusive, he doesn't take away from the story. He never breaks your immersion into the story.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely, it entices you with the settings, the historical events and the characters. I can almost bet you'll listen more than once because its so enjoyable, and you get so caught up in parts of it that you're still processing a scene when something else happens and is almost over before you're aware of it. I learned to hit the pause button to absorb scenes before moving onto something else.Any additional comments?
There are a lot of interviews with Mr. Burke about this book and how much of it is fiction and how much is part of his actual life or lives of his ancestors. I found it helpful to read those interviews. I liked knowing which scenes were family history and found it added a lot to the story as I listened. I love history, and perhaps that is why I enjoyed this part of of the book so much.Written From His Heart

It's a story of a man that lived towards the end of a violent period in the American South and the great state of Texas, who feels that his attributes do not fit into a world that is quickly become more civilized. However, he finds that his brand of justice still lives within the cracks of civilization. He fights for what he feels is right and sacrifices what and who he feels necessary.
Wow! Best audio book experience ever!
