Publisher Description

A hard-hitting, critically acclaimed trilogy of crime novels from an author about whom New York magazine has written, "What people say about Cormac McCarthy . . . goes double for [Woodrell]. Possibly more."

In the parish of St. Bruno, sex is easy, corruption festers, and double-dealing is a way of life. Rene Shade is an uncompromising detective swimming in a sea of filth.

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 has created an indelible representation of the shadows of the rural American experience and has steadily built a devoted following among crime fiction aficionados and esteemed literary critics alike.

Gritty

I really liked this book. Three awesome stories with an unpredictable ending. The last story was definitely my favorite. Funny & gritty. Not a book that I couldn't put down, but it was very creative. Reminded me of the movie No Country for Old Men, which scared me quite a bit. The book didn't haunt me as much as the movie but I controlled that... I think men would enjoy this book. Nothing cheesy about it! I also read Tomato Red by Daniel Woodrell and enjoyed that too!
