FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR CHRIS OFFUTT
The Reluctant Sheriff is Chris Offutt's fourth book featuring Mick Hardin.
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.
