Signed by the author. “In Sallis’s beautifully written second book to feature Turner, an ex-cop and ex-con, Turner is working as a deputy sheriff in Cripple Creek, Tenn., a small town where crime is minor and strictly local. Then, late one night, Sheriff Don Lee arrests drunk driver Judd Kurtz with $200,000 in a nylon gym bag hidden in the trunk of his car. Kurtz breaks out of the town jail, seriously wounding two officers in the process. Turner’s investigation leads him to an organized crime connection in nearby Memphis that enmeshes him in a web of escalating violence.” – PW Book: Very Good. Dust Jacket: Very Good.
