Army-CID-officer-cum-unofficial-PI Mick Hardin is up against unforeseen forces who will stop at nothing in this vividly atmospheric thriller from acclaimed novelist Chris Offutt.
Chris Offutt isa literary master across genres, and his most recent novel THE KILLING HILLSwas one of his most successful, earning him a new audience and earningpraise from the likes of The New York Times , the Wall Street Journal ,and Crime Reads . His latest book, Shifty'sBoys , is a compelling, propulsive thriller of murder and mayhem in thehills of eastern Kentucky.
"Mick Hardin is an Army CID officer home on leave, recovering from an IED attack and flirting with prescription painkillers, when a body is found in the center of town. It's Barney Kissick, the local heroin dealer, and the city police see it as an occupational hazard. But when Barney's mother, Shifty, asks Mick to take a look, it seems there's more to the killing than it seems. Mick should be rehabbing his leg, signing his divorce papers, and getting out of town--and most of all, staying out of the way of his sister's reelection as Sheriff--but he keeps on looking, and suddenly he's getting shot at himself."-- Provided by publisher.
