Rezension zu „Cripple Creek “
"The burned-out Memphis cop named Turner who sought refuge from his demons as a rural sheriff's deputy in James Sallis's "Cyprus Grove" is still a long way from being socialized in "Cripple Creek." But he's now admitting visitors to his cabin in the woods, and when a mobster blows in from the city to spring a confederate from the local jail, Turner is mad enough to take his grievance straight back to Memphis. "Figure they can do whatever they want out here on the edge, I'm thinking, "he says, in the spare but eloquent idiom that pegs him--along with this superior series--as a keeper."--Marilyn Stasio, " ""New York"" Times Book Review""A darkly moving mystery that is unlike anything else being written today."--Dick Adler, "Chicago"" Tribune""""It's a crime that a writer this good isn't better known."--David Montgomery, "Chicago Sun Times""Sallis' lyricism and power trump everything else, including a shock at the end of the book. This is one you absolutely don't want to miss.
