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 is a literary master across genres, and his most recent
novel THE KILLING HILLS was one of his most successful, earning him
a new audience and earning praise from the likes of The New York
Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Crime Reads. His latest book,
Shifty's Boys, is a compelling, propulsive thriller of murder and
mayhem in the hills of eastern Kentucky.Mick Hardin is home on
leave, recovering from an IED attack, 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 Linda's reelection as
Sheriff--but he keeps on looking, and suddenly he's getting shot at
himself. A dark, pacy crime novel about grief and revenge, and the
surprises hidden below the surface, Shifty's Boys is a tour de
force that confirms Chris Offutt's Mick Hardin as one of the most
appealing new investigators in fiction.
