"Electric Mist with Confederate Dead" is one of the popular novels by James Lee Burke featuring Dave Robicheaux.

Mystical circumstances transport Dave back 30 years in the past. A hurricane had just passed and Dave was on night duty in the swamps. In the distance, he notices two people and a dark-skinned captive, stumbling behind them on a leash.

He is chained and the two of them shoot him. For 30 years, this unsolved murder hung in Dave's mind. Elrod Sykes provides some help to Dave. He tells him that he has seen ghosts of Confederate Army soldiers, with whom he spoke, and they gave him some instructions. Dave doesn't believe Elrod's story, dismissing it as drunkenness. Until he sees the ghosts himself. Now, the General from the Civil War era is on Dave's side as a wise counselor, helping him not to lose self-control until the end.
