Shifty's Boys

Mick Hardin is back, and this time he helps investigating the murder of Shifty's son Barney, the local drug dealer. But the case is not the simple drug business gone wrong someone wants to make the police believe. Soon Mick uncovers a secret far more dangerous than Barney's business, and suddenly he finds himself in the line of fire as well. Another engaging thriller starring Mick Hardin and, of course: Kentucky. I love the down-to-earth writing and characters, and while the story sometimes does linger with small details of the moment, it never digresses or loses itself. Though I did rush through the comparatively short volume, it didn't really feel 'fast' - there was a comfortable sense of ease while reading the book and I was sad to realize it was over too soon.
