And, as it turns out, Sheriff Nick Corey is not nearly as dumb as he seems. Because the one thing Nick does know is that he will do anything to stay sheriff. With and election coming up, Nick needs to fix his problems and fast. Are they a little too close for a brother and sister? And then there’s his wife and her brother Lennie, who won’t stop troubling NIck’s already stressed mind. His girlfriend, Rose, is being terrorized by her husband. Two local pimps have been sassing him, ruining his already tattered reputation. Still, Nick has some very complex situations to deal with. He knows that nobody in Potts County actually wants to follow the law, and he is perfectly content lazing about, eating five meals a day, and sleeping with all the eligible women. He doesn’t solve problems, enfore rules, or arrest criminals. Paperback – Mulholland Books – Aug 2014 – 255 pages Pop-1280 by Jim Thompson with a foreward by Daniel Woodrell
