A Private Cathedral

James Lee Burke · Simon & Schuster · 2020

The US Simon & Schuster hardcover is the true first, published August 2020; it is the twenty-third Dave Robicheaux novel. A separate Barnes & Noble exclusive edition is a distinct issue that adds a bonus short story and is signed by Burke on a tipped-in publisher's page rather than on the title page.
