A tough military policeman, currently stateside because of an injury, finds navigating the backwoods and hollers of his rural home as difficult as anything he's experienced in Chris Offutt's Shifty's Boys.
Offutt's follow-up to The Killing Hills finds our tarnished protagonist trying to manage his relationship with his sister (the local sheriff) as well as a promise to a local drug lord to look into the death of her son, a heroin dealer, whose murder law enforcement feels is best left alone.
Another chewy serving of tough Kentucky noir, with sure-handed characters and blistering action. Really a great new contemporary series.
I checked this out from the Henry County-New Castle Public Library in New Castle, Indiana and read it quickly.
