- Summary
- "The small town where Turner has moved is one of America's lost places, halfway between Memphis and nowhere. That makes it the perfect hideaway: a place where a man can bury the past and escape the pain of human contact, where conversation happens only when there's something to say, where you can sit and listen to crickets and watch owls fly silently across the face of the moon. It's the place where Turner hopes to forget that he had been a cop and a psychotherapist, and would always be an ex-con." "And it's working fine until Sheriff Lonnie Bates arrives on Turner's porch with a bottle of Wild Turkey and a problem: The body of a drifter has been found - brutally and ritualistically murdered - and Bates and his deputy need help from someone with big-city experience who appreciates the delicacy of investigating people in a small town. Thrust back into the middle of what he left behind, Turner slowly becomes reacquainted not only with the darkness he had fled, but with the unsuspected kindness of others."--BOOK JACKET.
