After Winter’s Bone, I went on a steady diet of what I call Midwestern Gothic. Just brutal jaw-cracking asskickery set in the flyover states hugging the Mississippi River. This is the first of the Bayou Trilogy, featuring former boxer/police detective Rene Shade and the shady denizens of St. Bruno. This story is about those small town big fish pulling strings and popping heads with shotguns.
