Publisher's Description
Before he can solve a brutal murder, a small-town police chief/preacher battles the town council, who wants to fire him, a hit man posing as Jerry Lee Lewis, who wants to kill him, a bar owner, who gets drunk every Christmas Eve and climbs the town water tower so the chief will climb up and retrieve her, and a squeeze-happy python named Beverly.

“Not your predictable murder mystery, Foul Purity abounds with a cast of misogynist truckers, trailer-park slackers, and one Jerry Lee Lewis wannabe. After multiple entertaining twists and bloody cul-de-sacs, the Greek-reading sheriff H. B. Alapata uncovers a sexually crisscrossed resolution to a brutal killing.”
“In Foul Purity, Levens thrills readers with his uncanny ability to capture the colloquialism, characters, and context of the mixed cultures of a small Southern town. With the eloquence and, at times, the darkness of a Pat Conroy novel, Foul Purity takes readers into the unfathomable beauty and cruelty of humanity. It is the reader’s privilege to discover which prevails when the dust and murk settle.”
