Will Trent on TF1: Before his TV success, he was a bestseller in bookshops

Last Wednesday, TF1 aired the first episodes of Will Trent, the detective series starring Ramon Rodriguez, Erica Christensen and Ianta Richardson.

This 13-episode first season follows the adventures of Will Trent, a special agent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Despite his dyslexia, Willy is the agent with the highest clearance in the GBI.

It must be said that the latter is a real genius when it comes to solving puzzles, and thanks to his methodical analysis of crime scenes, he can complete the most difficult investigations.

But did you know that this detective series was an adaptation of a successful literary saga?

Will Trent is an adaptation of the successful literary saga

The story of this policeman, like others, is based on a literary saga Will Trent by Karin Slaughter, who has captivated readers around the world.

In 2006, the novelist introduced the character of Will Trent, a GBI special agent with a past as dark as his own, in “Triptyque,” published in French under the title “Triptyque.”

Since then, Karin Slaughter has published many works on this character, where she skillfully mixes suspense and action with the development of her characters. Always insightful and with an addictive pen, the novelist does not shy away from stripping them bare by giving precise details about their lives to put the reader at the center of their intimacy.

To date, Will Trent’s saga spans 14 novels, including This Is Why We Cheated, which will be released later this year in the United States and should once again captivate readers.

described as “New thriller wonder“Karin Slaughter is the author of more than 20 bestselling novels, many of which have appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. Since her debut, her books have been published in 120 countries and have sold more than 40 million copies worldwide.

The saga of Will Trent, an essential reference in detective novels today, we hope that the series currently airing on TF1 will achieve the same success.
