The film begins with Detective Dave Robicheaux (Tommy Lee Jones) investigating the murder of a young woman in his small parish town while dealing with the influx of irresponsible Hollywood star Elrod Sykes (Peter Sarsgaard). While filming a civil war epic, Elrod discovers the remains of a man killed decades earlier, a crime Dave himself witnessed but did not report. Adding to the intrigue is the appearance of ghosts from a forgotten era: confederate soldiers lead by Gen. John Bell Hood.

As more murders occur and secrets from the past are brought to light, will Dave succeed in stopping a vicious killer? Jones delivers a believable portrayal of a tortured, redemptive officer who must right the wrongs of the past and the present. Adding to the authenticity and beauty of this Cajun tale, five-time Grammy Award winner Buddy Guy appears and performs in the film. One final mystery still remains: will we see more of Dave Robicheaux, or will more adaptations be confined to the reader’s imagination? -- Lesley Puhrmann Stills from In the Electric Mist (Click for larger image) ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/dvd/image/electricmist/Electric-Mist_1_L.jpg ) ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/dvd/image/electricmist/Electric-Mist_2_L.jpg ) ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/dvd/image/electricmist/Electric-Mist_3_L.jpg ) ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/dvd/image/electricmist/Electric-Mist_4_L.jpg ) ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/dvd/image/electricmist/Electric-Mist_5_L.jpg ) ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/dvd/image/electricmist/Electric-Mist_6_L.jpg )
