Mick Hardin is an Army CID officer home on leave, recovering from an IED attack and flirting with prescription painkillers, when a body is found in the center of town. Itâs Barney Kissick, the local heroin dealer, and the city police see it as an occupational hazard. But when Barneyâs mother, Shifty, asks Mick to take a look, he finds thereâs more to the killing than it seems. Mick should be rehabbing his leg, signing his divorce papers, and getting out of townâand most of all, staying out of the way of his sisterâs reelection as Sheriffâbut he keeps on looking, and suddenly heâs getting shot at himself.
A dark, pacy crime novel about grief and revenge and the surprises hidden below the surface, Shiftyâs Boys is a tour de force that confirms Mick Hardin as one of the most appealing new investigators in fiction.
