Psychologically astute and wonderfully poetic, Sanctuary is a powerful novel examining the nature of true evil, through the prisms of mythology, local lore, and hard-boiled detective fiction. This is the dark, at times brutal, story of the kidnapping of Mississippi debutante Temple Drake, who introduces her own form of venality into the Memphis underworld where she is being held.
"Es vessa una sang fàcil" no és una novel·la negra corrent. No hi ha detectius privats que investiguen misteris, no hi ha un assassí per desenmascarar ni un robatori per planejar. Perquè el relat comença quan molts d'altres acaben: una banda de cinc homes assalta un banc i s'apodera d'un botí imporant. Però el que s'encarrega de fugir amb els diners desapareix sense deixar rastre. I els mateixos lladres són els que han de descrobrir on s'amaga o què ha passat amb qui aparentment els ha traït, en una persecució gairebé a cegues, plena de pistes falses i d'entrebancs.
