Corey is a terrible sheriff on purpose. He doesn’t solve problems,
enforce rules or arrest criminals. He knows that nobody in tiny 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. Still, Nick has some very complex problems to deal with.
Two local pimps have been sassing him, ruining his already tattered
reputation. His girlfriend Rose is being terrorized by her husband. And
then, there’s his wife and her brother Lenny who won’t stop troubling
Nick’s already stressed mind. Are they a little too close for a brother
and a sister? With an election coming up, Nick needs to fix his problems
and fast. Because the one thing Nick does know is that he will do
anything to stay sheriff. Because, as it turns out, Sheriff Nick Corey
is not nearly as dumb as he seems. In Pop. 1280, widely regarded as a
classic of mid-20th century crime, Thompson offers up one of his best,
in a tale of lust, murder, and betrayal in the Deep South that was the
basis for the critically acclaimed French film Coup de Torchon.
Unabridged.
