The Convict and Other Stories by James Lee Burke
The title is a bit misleading. This is a collection of short stories that mostly take place in southern Louisiana. It also includes a couple of war stories. As usual for Burke, they are excellently crafted and the characters tend to be a bit of a psychological mess. There is some violence, in case that is something you avoid in your reading. I like short stories because you can squeeze one in whenever you have a few minutes here or there. These stories are definitely worth the time!
