Salt River

In James Sallis's gripping mystery, "Cripple Creek," we follow former Memphis cop John Turner as he takes on the role of deputy sheriff in a small, slowly fading town. As he delves into various troubling cases, his past resurfaces dramatically when he sees his son driving what seems to be a stolen car. This compelling narrative intertwines personal and professional challenges against a backdrop of a community grappling with its own forgotten history.
