«1280 almas» is the crime novel by Jim Thompson, published by Punto De Lectura in paperback, with 118 pages, in Spanish.
The action takes place in the small town of Pottsville, whose 1280 inhabitants give the book its title. Nick Corey, the local sheriff, fears not being re-elected and, driven by ambition and lack of scruples, does not hesitate to kill to keep power. Beneath the town's apparent calm, a collective pettiness emerges that also reaches his own family.
The novel was originally published in 1964 under the title «Pop. 1280»; this Spanish edition is from 2005.
A read for fans of crime novels and hard-boiled thrillers, with a corrupt protagonist and an oppressive rural atmosphere.
