Format(s): EPUB MOBI

Book 1: Cypress Grove
Cypress Grove tells two stories simultaneously. In present time, ex- detective Turner returns to the rural south to pursue a hermitlike existence. Soon, though, he is drawn by the local sheriff into the investigation of the murder of an anonymous homeless man who has been, in effect, crucified, with a stake driven into his chest. Alternate chapters relate Turner\'s past: how he joined the Memphis police department and more or less by happenstance got promoted to detective, how eventually it came about that he killed his partner and, sentenced to one year in prison, there was forced to kill again in self defense, drawing down twenty-five years. In prison he turned to university study, earned a master\'s degree in psychology and, released after nine years, practiced as a therapist before returning to the hills in which he was born. Stories of cases Turner worked as a detective in the city -- an unsolved series of vigilante murders, the hospital orderly who abducted a brain-damaged young girl he\'d fallen in love with -- bolster the narrative of his personal history. These in turn are reflected in memories of \"clients\" with whom he worked as therapist: Jimmie the Machine, convinced that his batteries were running down; a man who mutilated his infant son. Meanwhile, as Turner becomes reacquainted with a life he fled long ago, the investigation leads him to a thirty-year-old cult film and its mysterious creator. First brutalized, then numbed by what he saw as policeman and as therapist as well as by his own pain, Turner came here to withdraw from human contact. Instead, with the death of a man born to apartness, the ultimate stranger, Turner is drawn ineffably back to life and to a sense of community.
Book 2: Cripple Creek
In Sallis\'s beautifully written second book to feature Turner, an ex-cop and ex-con (after 2004\'s Cypress Grove), Turner is working as a deputy sheriff in Cripple Creek, Tenn., a small town where crime is minor and strictly local. Then, late one night, Sheriff Don Lee arrests drunk driver Judd Kurtz with $200,000 in a nylon gym bag hidden in the trunk of his car. Kurtz breaks out of the town jail, seriously wounding two officers in the process. Turner\'s investigation leads him to an organized crime connection in nearby Memphis that enmeshes him in a web of escalating violence. Sallis\'s working method is to simply let the cameras roll, depicting the lives of Turner, his banjo-picking girlfriend, his eccentric co-workers and Cripple Creek itself, as everyone goes about their business. Small moments are recorded as faithfully as large, and stories from earlier days mix with the ongoing crimes and misdemeanors of the present. A structural sleight of hand toward the end may at first confuse but is pretty amazing once the reader catches on.
Book 3: What you have left:The Turner Trilogy
Over the past five years, James Sallis has created three of the most acclaimed mysteries published in America, each of them featuring the complex John Turner--former cop, therapist, and an ex-con, trying to escape his past, yet ever involved in the small community somewhere near Memphis where he has sought refuge. The Turner Trilogy--concise, elegiac, memorable--collects these three classics in one paperback volume.
