The book is "The Neon Rain" by James Lee Burke, first of the Robicheaux series about a cop in Louisiana. Two movies were made from his books: "The Electric Mist" (w/Tommy Lee Jones) and "Heaven's Prisoners" (w/Alec Baldwin).

That's good. Whatever gets them to read.
I do admit, I find it bothersome that books are getting replaced by hand-held gadgets (iphones) where people do FB, emails, videos, and games instead of reading. This is a humongous change that I've noticed when I ride mass-transit, or even the people who sit waiting in our office.
