New Badge. Old Blood.
Nick Drake traded his past for the Sheriff’s star, but Harney County doesn’t do election honeymoons. His tenure kicks off with a double homicide staged as a murder-suicide—a lie Nick isn't buying. As he digs into the crime’s rotting core, the rookie Sheriff finds himself fighting a war on two fronts: a lethal learning curve with unproven deputies and a political recall designed to bury him. In the high lonesome where secrets kill, Nick must strike first and strike hard. Because in this office, the only thing shorter than his term is his life expectancy.
My Review - 5 of 5 stars -
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Nick Drake, new sheriff in town, had to find his way through politics, murder, livestock, and his own past. The clues led everywhere and nowhere, and had me guessing all the way to the end. The history of the First Nations, their beliefs, as well as some tragic history of the Vietnam War strengthened my feelings for these people. Nick was so patient, intelligent, and a very caring person. I look forward to reading more in this series.
