About The Author	Born and raised in Louisiana, Tim Gautreaux lives there still with his family. His stories have been published in Harper's, the Atlantic Monthly, GQ, Zoetrope, Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards, and Best American Short Stories, and collected in two volumes. Acclaimed as 'one of the best writers to have emerged in the 1990s' by Kirkus Reviews, his first novel, THE NEXT STEP IN THE DANCE, won the 1999 SEBA Book Award, and was followed in 2003 by the highly acclaimed THE CLEARING. In 2005, he was awarded the John Dos Passos Prize. His latest novel, THE MISSING, was published in 2009.
	So firmly located and vividly realised that you can almost smell the Louisiana swampwater … a gripping, action-packed tale, but also a notably intelligent one
Other text	The novel that launched Tim Gautreaux internationally as one of the best contemporary American novelists – a gripping tale of courage, violence and moral choices set in 1920s Louisiana.
