He starred in the TNT miniseries Into the West and on the CBS series The Agency, and won Obie Awards in the theater for his performances in Fool for Love and What Did He See.

"The well-paced action features the usual men at play with fists and guns, but Burke also offers three strong women with pivotal roles, one of whom could be a match for any of the tough guys. The large cast features complex and compelling characters, and the action deftly builds to a roaring boil.” (Library Journal)“Stunning… Crisp dialogue highlights this tale of redemption and the bonds of family, and the breathtaking conclusion is one that readers won’t soon forget.” (Publishers Weekly (starred))"Burke wins us over yet again with another fusillade of lyrical, deeply moving prose that makes us feel the beating hearts of all his characters, demon-wracked though they may be."

Old Asia Hand said It pains me to say so, but this is an awful book. I have been an admirer of James Lee Burke for more years than I care to remember, and I am deeply embarrassed for him. This is an absolutely awful novel. Confused, incoherent, and terribly written, there is no trace at all of the romantic lyricism which Burke has heretofore done better than any writer of his generation. That this book is being peddled to you says more about the state of publishing in American than anything else. Put a respected brand name on any old pile of crap and the publisher figures they can unload it on a bunch of peop. Another Whirlwind Ride at the Turn of the 20th Century. Mike Houston, Author There is a reason that James Lee Burke has two Edgar awards and many other awards to go along with them. He has been writing the best novels with some of the most complex characters for over fifty years. As I opened his latest book, HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN, I realized that this 80 year old man wasn't going to disappoint me. He has continued the saga of Hackberry Holland, former Texas Ranger, a man with many complications struggling to survive at the turn of the new century as he seeks to find his lost son. Hackberry travels with rangers into. Not nearly as bad as some reviewers are saying. Peter Wow, there are some tough reviews of this book here. I can understand some of the points that have been made by reviewers and agree with some of them.While I must admit that I am a Dave Robicheaux fan first and foremost, I don't mind Mr Burke's other work. His characters have a way of enveloping you in their lives to a certain extent and there is very much the theme of redemption prevalent in the books.In this novel, we have Hackberry Holland who is a former Texas Ranger and sometimes drunk, who gets involved with a nasty villain and his pla
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. Bestselling author James Lee Burke s masterpiece is the story of a father and son separated by war, circumstance, and a race for the Holy Grail a thrilling entry in the Holland family saga "The" "New York Times Book Review "has described as saturated with the romance of the past while mournfully attuned to the unholy menace of the present. After a violent encounter that leaves four Mexican soldiers dead, Texas Ranger Hackberry Holland escapes the country in possession of a stolen artifac
