It may look that way, me being locked up and all, but my crime was a necessary one. A much-needed payday for my sick and dying mama, and a reprieve from the Mississippi Delta's suffocating poverty. But I got caught, and the payday never came. Maybe that's why my notorious cellmate is preying on me like he is. It's the need he senses, a burden I'm wearing like a heavy coat I can't remove.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHis name is Earl Gates, but everyone calls him Pearly, a snake-oil salesman if there ever was one. And his idea is ludicrous - to steal twenty million from one of the new casinos coming to Tunica, my hometown. With my brains, backroads knowledge, and big river bloodline, he says I'll make a perfect accomplice. I don't know about that, but he's got me thinking. About risk. About reward.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI could lose Layna, who waits for me, probably against her better judgment. Love can tip the scales of logic, I suppose. Then there's Sheriff Stilwell, whose testimony put me away, who still has me in his sights. And one more thing I keep hearing about - the mysterious Delta Syndicate and Pearly's possible connection to it. If I listened to my gut, I might avoid this scheme altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut it's the money, you see. Millions of reasons in life-altering cash. An escape from the fate I've been running from for as long as I can remember. A promise of salvation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnd in a place like Mississippi, you're best to grab salvation wherever you can find it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Judd Vowell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47602524291308,"sku":"9798295421976","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9798295421976.jpg?v=1778037207","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/salvation-mississippi","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
