Full Description
FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR CHRIS OFFUTT
'An eventful southern US noir and an international thriller with the deliberative pacing of a Le Carré...Offutt's vivid writing summons an impressively evocative sense of place and an equally strong ear for all the things his often-laconic characters aren't saying aloud.' Irish Times
The Reluctant Sheriff is Chris Offutt's fourth book featuring Mick Hardin.
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.
'This is a marvellous series... These have become must-reads for me and I enjoy every minute of the reading experience' Deadly Pleasures
'Righteous Kentucky noir... I gulped it down, relishing the burn' Ian Rankin on Shifty's Boys
