Purgatory Springs 1927

By David Gorton Lucas

Purgatory Springs, Colorado, 1927.
Somewhere between heaven and hell runs the miracle cure, and in Purgatory Springs everyone wants a share of it.

In this fading Colorado spa town, good citizens, grifters, bootleggers, and lovesick fools crowd the same narrow streets, each hoping to profit from mineral water, booster promises, and the old bad blood that keeps the town unsettled. Sal Pinelli, an X-ray technician and aspiring doctor, is drawn into the corruption below and the violence gathering around the Lighthouse Club. As Klan marches, Prohibition rackets, and long grudges tighten their grip, the summer grows steadily darker.

In Purgatory Springs, the line between salvation and ruin is never far apart.

Purgatory Springs 1927 is a dark historical novel about a town on the edge, a man caught in the middle, and the fire coming for them both.
