The Reluctant Sheriff

Jan says, Not my usual genre, but a great read for all you lovers of crime and grit.  Keeps you guessing to the last page and brings to life the hills of Kentucky. 

Back in the familiar setting of the Kentucky hills, Mick Hardin returns standing in as the sheriff while the previous sheriff, his sister Linda, recuperates 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.

A dark and fierce return to the Kentucky hills, where nothing is what it seems.
