Synopsis

'One of the 100 Best Thrillers of the Century' ― New York Times

'A marvellous writer' ― Roddy Doyle

'Brings all the satisfactions of crime thriller and mystery' ― Guardian

Daniel Woodrell's modern classic is the unforgettable tale of courage, loyalty and survival that inspired the Oscar-nominated, award-winning film starring Jennifer Lawrence.

Sixteen-year-old Ree Dolly is raising her two younger brothers and caring for her ailing mother in the harsh poverty of Missouri's Ozarks. When she learns that her father has skipped bail after charges linked to a meth lab, she faces a devastating prospect: if he doesn't appear in court, the family will lose their home.

Determined to save the only life they know, Ree sets out to find him. But her search draws her deep into a tight-knit world of clan loyalties, long-held feuds and dangerous secrets, where outsiders are unwelcome and asking questions can be a fatal mistake.
