Description
Returning home on leave after an IED attack, Army CID officer Mick Hardin expects quiet recovery—until a local heroin dealer is found dead in the center of town. What the police dismiss as routine fallout quickly draws Mick into a deeper, more personal investigation when his mother asks him to look closer, revealing that the town’s surface respectability hides old grudges and dangerous secrets. As Mick follows the threads of grief and revenge, he must navigate shifting loyalties, uneasy alliances, and the moral cost of getting answers. With Chris Offutt’s sharp, atmospheric storytelling and a keen affection for the people and places he writes about, this fast-paced mystery delivers suspense while probing how communities protect their own—and what happens when someone refuses to look away.
