Chris Offutt isa literary master across genres, and his most recent novel THE KILLING HILLSwas one of his most successful, earning him a new audience and earningpraise from the likes of The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal,and Crime Reads. His latest book, Shifty'sBoys, is a compelling, propulsive thriller of murder and mayhem in thehills of eastern Kentucky. Mick Hardin is home on leave,recovering from an IED attack, when a body is found in the center of town. It'sBarney Kissick, the local heroin dealer, and the city police see it as anoccupational hazard. But when Barney's mother, Shifty, asks Mick to take alook, it seems there's more to the killing than it seems. Mick should berehabbing his leg, signing his divorce papers, and getting out of town--and mostof all, staying out of the way of his sister Linda's reelection as Sheriff--buthe keeps on looking, and suddenly he's getting shot at himself. A dark, pacy crime novel aboutgrief and revenge, and the surprises hidden below the surface, Shifty's Boys is a tour de force that confirms Chris Offutt's Mick Hardin as one of themost appealing new investigators in fiction"
