Synopsis

NOLA TRIAD'S GRITTY LITERARY DEBUT!

“A vivid and violent crime novel with impressive emotional impact.” –Kirkus Reviews

“Seductive … reads more true-crime than crime fiction … takes you through the myriad chambers of New Orleans that tourists never see.” --Phillip Thompson, bestselling author of Not Dead Enough

When four misfits in New Orleans East come into a priceless painting from a mafia heist that happened decades before, they find their greatest challenge is neither the pursuing ICE agents nor the mafiosi closing in, but the relentless forces in their own community they’ll have to overcome.

More praise for Bayou Savages:

“Triad presents a modern-day Robin Hood tale that’s also a touching meditation on found family ... The richly drawn ensemble is easy to root for, despite their flaws, as the narrative gradually shifts from a neo-noir art heist thriller to a complex study of interpersonal relationships.” –Kirkus Reviews

“In a city full of colorful characters, Bayou Savages unveils its contribution to the galaxy of underworld figures who captivate—and horrify you—with their flair … Bayou Savages is a strong cup of coffee and not for the faint-hearted, but more importantly, it’s a love letter to a city that has seen more than its share of tragedy yet found a way to flourish.” --Phillip Thompson, bestselling author of Not Dead Enough

TRIGGER ALERT: This novel warrants every possible warning. There is nothing cozy here. The violence isn’t graphic in the manner of what you’d read in a forensic crime or serial killer novel with blood by the gallon and layers of victims’ skin being peeled, but the characters on these pages are real, so when they hurt, you hurt with them. New Orleans may be the most welcoming place in the world—famously, no category of misfit is barred—but it can also be rough. Those who read to the end may well come out feeling heartbroken, battered, or dazed. Then again, if you’re like the residents of New Orleans, you might feel that's a price you're willing to pay.
