Code of the Hills (Mick Hardin #3)

0/5 ( ratings)

In this blistering return to Chris
Offutt’s acclaimed crime series, Mick Hardin is tested like never before as
familial allegiances and old wounds collide, threatening to destroy everything
he loves

Master storyteller and award-winning author Chris Offutt’s latest book, Code
of the Hills, is a dark, witty, and propulsive thriller of murder and
secrets in a town where little is as it seems.

Mick Hardin is back in the hills of Kentucky. He’d planned to touch down
briefly before heading to France, marking the end to his twenty-year Army
career. In Rocksalt, his sister Linda the sheriff is investigating the murder
of Pete Lowe, a sought-after mechanic at the local racetrack. After
another body is found, Linda and her deputy Johnny Boy Tolliver wonder if the
two murders are related. Linda steps into harm’s way just as a third body turns
up and Mick ends up being deputized again, uncovering evidence of illegal
cockfighting, and trying to connect all the crimes.

An explosive return to the mayhem of the Kentucky hills, Code of
the Hills is a harrowing novel of family—of what we’re willing to do
to protect and avenge the ones we love.
