Publisher Description

Author James Sallis is acclaimed for his taut mysteries featuring world-weary ex-Memphis cop John Turner, including Cripple Creek. Assuming the role of deputy sheriff in a small town near the city, Turner investigates sordid cases in a community that time is slowly forgetting. Here his past catches up to him when his son rolls down Main Street riding in what appears to be a stolen car. "It's a crime that a writer this good isn't better known."-Chicago Sun-Times

"A quick satisfying read, another in his Turner series. Sometimes I am a little lost in his dialog but usually find my way. His characters are likable and the storyline is believable. He jumps around in time, and you have to wait go with the flow and it eventually makes sense. "

    " Sallis is an unsung genius of crime writing he creates vivid images in very few words and his taut, pared down prose is distinctive and powerful "

    " I thought this was the weakest of the series. It seemed that the main character, as well as the author, were just drifting. "

    " Thought this was about our Salt River but no it was one near Memphis. Strange story set in a small town full of dark secrets. Not my kind of mystery thoug some of the characters were interesting. "

    " All the plaudits and great reviews that I read in the front of this book are true. This is one pared down, thoughtful and evocative writer. He can say so much with so few words, but he imbues them with so much feeling and power. I am eager to read his other books. "

    " Turner is kind of the emo Parker. First book is the best. This one, the last, is the second best. (Middle one kind of goes off the rails.) "

    " This book was somewhat of a disappointment. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series. This one lacked something I haven't been able to put my finger on. It's a really short read though, 147 pages. Still worth it to finish the series. "
