Can anyone recall any other books/series in the genre
that had supernatural elements?

had the lead character visited by a Civi War general and his

I haven't read it in a while, but I recall the Dain Curse by
Hammett had some supernatural elements to it. Walter Mosley's
prequel to his Easy Rawlins books, Gone Fishin' featured a
witch character who seemed to have supernatural powers (at
least over a young Easy Rawlins).
As for James Lee Burke, I think he's an immensly
talented writer but his books, at least he Robicheux novels
that I have read (except the first one)are somewhat repetive.
His lanscape description is moving, but there is often too
much of it for my attention span. My favorite is Dixe City
Jam, something about lost Nazi subs always stirs my
imagination. (There's one off of New Jersey that has been the
subject of recent media stories and a new book)
