Publisher Review

'Excellent Kentucky noir - Offutt's third Mick Hardin novel is the best yet.' 'Beautifully descriptive... Offutt's Mick Hardin novels are powerful books that feature characters with questionable ethics.' 'This is a marvelous series that plays on the author's skillful prose and deep knowledge of the language and customs of rural Kentucky. These have become must-reads for me and I enjoy every minute of the reading experience' -- George Easter * Deadly Pleasures * 'Offutt once again beautifully captures both the roughness and the generosity of the inhabitants of Rocksalt, both the menace and the beauty of the eastern Kentucky landscape. The dialogue is a highlight, consistently sharp, quick, and funny; in that, Offutt is rapidly becoming a rural-noir rival to greats like Elmore Leonard. Another love letter to Appalachia with a high body count. Another bloody delight' * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) * 'Excellent Kentucky noir - Offutt's third Mick Hardin novel is the best yet' * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *
