Reviews
Praise for Sarah Jane "James Sallis is never to be missed--never. Everything he writes is most worthy and so beautifully written to boot you will marvel. He's a sorcerer with words. Because most of his novels feature a crime and subsequent matching atmosphere they are called mysteries but trust me these are novels first of the highest literary quality that work within the world of bad deeds gone even more wrong. Sarah Jane is no different. What's not to admire in a sentence that reads; 'There's a small revolution going on in that sentence.' Trust me--find this guy--start here--read this book!" --Sheryl Cotleur, Copperfield's Books (Northern California) Praise for James Sallis "A perfect piece of noir fiction . . . focus[ing] on those hollowed-out moments when a man's moral landscape suddenly shifts and he's plunged into darkness." -- The New York Times Book Review "One stark and stunning tale of murder, treachery, and deceit." -- Boston Globe "[Sallis] might just be one of our greatest living writers." -- USA Today "A taut page-turner . . . [and] a lovely piece of work that makes you wish some other writers would take lessons from [Sallis]." --Washington Post "One of the most enjoyable and most important writers working today, James Sallis has quietly revolutionized an entire genre of literature." --Sara Gran "James Sallis is one of our greatest living crime writers . . . Try to get his words, his stories, his people out of your head. Just try." --Laura Lippman "Speaking of Jim Sallis in the same tone as Poe and Dostoevsky is not overblowing on my part." --Harlan Ellison "Sallis is a gifted writer and he doesn't cram his story into this slim volume. Rather he distills it into a superbly potent brew that burns going down and explodes in the belly." --Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine "James Sallis might be the 'purest' writer of crime fiction in America today . . . his books are worth reading solely for what rises from the inspired use of language." -- San Francisco Chronicle "In addition to his masterly novels, Sallis is known for his work as a poet, and the lyrical beauty of his words shines through his pages. The story unfolds with the cadence of the down-home music that plays such an important part in the characters' lives, weaving stories from the past through the narrative of the present to create a harmonious melody. It's a crime that a writer this good isn't better known." -- Chicago Sun-Times "Sallis's treatment is minimalist, stylish, and all the more evocative for it. Essential noir existentialism." --The Guardian "A story full of heart, imbued with a warmth of human spirit that most longer books could only dream of." --The Independent "The power of simplicity and the musical ring of truth as only Sallis can deliver it--as he has done bravely, consistently, for the last few decades." -- The Los Angeles Times, Praise for James Sallis "A perfect piece of noir fiction . . . focus[ing] on those hollowed-out moments when a man's moral landscape suddenly shifts and he's plunged into darkness." -- The New York Times Book Review "One stark and stunning tale of murder, treachery, and deceit." -- Boston Globe "[Sallis] might just be one of our greatest living writers." -- USA Today "A taut page-turner . . .

His descriptions evoke a place more real than mere realism could render, and his people speak and sweat and live and die and it''s all a great pleasure." --Daniel Woodrell "A hypnotic, meticulously crafted crime novel . . . An insightful character study of one woman''s reckoning with her own demons, this is also a powerful look at contemporary America. Sallis is writing at the top of his game." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "This quietly powerful blend of noir and character study finds both despair and great tenderness in the daily lives of ordinary people . . . Sallis'' words hold plenty." -- Booklist , Starred Review "Sallis has a quiet way of narrating a powerful story of accidents and death. The lyrical language and ambiguous ending is reminiscent of the best of Craig Johnson''s ''Longmire'' stories." --Library Journal , Starred Review "James Sallis is never to be missed--never.

Synopsis
A spare, sparkling tour de force about one woman's journey to becoming a cop, by master of noir James Sallis, author of Drive. Sarah Jane Pullman is a cop with a complicated past. From her small-town chicken-farming roots through her runaway adolescence, court-ordered Army stint, ill-advised marriage and years slinging scrambled eggs over greasy spoon griddles, Sarah Jane unfolds her life story, a parable about memory, atonement, and finding shape in chaos. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she is named the de facto sheriff of a rural town, investigating the mysterious disappearance of the sheriff whose shoes she's filling--and the even more mysterious realities of the life he was hiding from his own colleagues and closest friends. This kaleidoscopic character study sparkles in every dark and bright detail--a virtuoso work by a master of both and the tender aspects of human nature., A spare, sparkling tour de force about one woman's journey to becoming a cop, by master of noir James Sallis, author of Drive.
