<p><b>With a new introduction by Charlie Higson</b><br><br><b>'Fantastic ... in my book Jim Thompson is still the greatest crime writer' Jo Nesbo</b><br><br><b>'The best suspense writer going, bar none' NEW YORK TIMES</b><br><b><br>'Jim Thompson holds a special place in my heart' Bruce Springsteen<br></b><br>Nick Corey likes being the high sheriff of Potts County. But Nick has a few problems that he needs to deal with: like his loveless marriage, the pimps who torment him, the honest man who is running against him in the upcoming elections and the women who adore him. <br><br>And it turns out that Nick isn't anything like as amiable, easy-going or as slow as he seems. He's as sly, brutal and corrupt as they come.</p>
