Summary

With a new introduction by Charlie Higson

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.

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.

What more can you ask for in a novel? Excellent writing with adroitly crafted characters — action, mystery and most of all a lead character for the ages!!! This Thompson classic exceeded all expectations, read with aplomb it is a MUST listen for any literary mind and for crime fans it just doesn’t get any better.

Sheer brilliance
