FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR CHRIS OFFUTT
A dark and fierce return to the Kentucky hills, where nothing is what it seems.
Mick Hardin returns to the trials and tribulations of local sheriff duties, whilst the previous sheriff, his sister Linda, recovers from a gunshot wound sustained in the line of duty.
Living in Linda’s house in Rocksalt, Mick finds himself entwined in the trials and tribulations of being a sheriff in the perturbing Kentucky community. Unable to retire from a world of dubiousness and violence, Mick Hardin is back with determination to deliver retribution.
Chris Offutt is the author of the short-story collections Kentucky Straight and Out of the Woods, four novels The Good Brother, Country Dark, The Killing Hills, Code of the Hills, and three memoirs: The Same River Twice, No Heroes, and My Father, the Pornographer.
