The Bayou Trilogy - Paperback
by Daniel Woodrell (Author)
In the parish of St. Bruno, sex is easy, corruption festers, and double-dealing is a way of life--and Rene Shade is an uncompromising detective swimming in a sea of filth in this hard-hitting, critically acclaimed trilogy of crime novels.
As Shade takes on hit men, porn kings, a gang of ex-cons, and the ghosts of his own checkered past, Woodrell's three seminal novels pit long-entrenched criminals against the hard line of the law, brother against brother, and two vastly different sons against a long-absent father. The Bayou Trilogy highlights the origins of a one-of-a-kind author, a writer who for over two decades created an indelible representation of the shadows of the rural American experience and steadily built a devoted following among crime fiction aficionados and esteemed literary critics alike. "What people say about Cormac McCarthy ... goes double for [Woodrell]. Possibly more." --New York magazineDaniel Woodrell is also the author of eight novels including The Maid's Version, Winter's Bone, and The Death of Sweet Mister, as well as the collection The Outlaw Album. He is the recipient of the PEN West Award, and five of his eight novels have been selected as New York Times Notable Books of the Year. Three of his novels have been adapted for film, including the Oscar-nominated Winter's Bone. He lived in the Ozarks near the Arkansas line with his wife, Katie Estill, and died in 2025.
