Cypress Grove - James Sallis

The small town where Turner has moved is the perfect hide-away for him to forget he was a cop, a psychotherapist but always an ex-con - until a body is found and Turner is thrust into the investigation and everything he thought he had left behind.Turner slowly becomes reacquainted not only with the darkness he had fled, but with the unsuspected kindness of others. Brilliantly balancing Turner's past and present lives, Cypress Grove is lyrical, moving and filled with the sense of place and character that only our finest writers can achieve.
