Synopsis

A story collection from one of the most popular and widely acclaimed icons of American fiction, featuring a never-before-published novella.

****

These eight stories move between the marshlands of the Gulf of Mexico, the sweeping plains of Colorado, and the prisons, saloons, and trailer parks of the South, weaving together quiet acts of love and survival with shocking eruptions of violence and revenge.

Harbor Lights is populated with unforgettable characters, unfolds in lyrical prose, and displays James Lee Burke's singular skills in this masterful anthology.

****
