Mick Hardin Novels

Master storyteller Chris Offutt’s acclaimed crime series has been praised by Ian Rankin as “righteous Kentucky noir with top notes of Daniel Woodrell and S. A. Cosby,” and in this breakneck new novel, sheriff Mick Hardin navigates the treacherous terrain of a town’s festering secrets and the violent forces who want to keep them hidden

Lauded as a “masterclass in the craft of crime fiction” (CrimeReads), Chris Offutt’s beloved and critically acclaimed Mick Hardin series is an atmospheric, tightly crafted testament to Southern noir. The Reluctant Sheriff is a dark, bracing return to the hills of eastern Kentucky where secrets roil beneath the surface, and nothing and no one stays in the past for long.

Mick Hardin never wanted to be sheriff. An ex-Army CID officer, he’s supposed to be retired—or he was until his sister, Linda, was shot in the line of duty, requiring him to step in as interim sheriff while she recovered. Now he’s stuck in Rocksalt, the place he was most hoping to escape.

Back in uniform, Mick is chafing at the sudden dissolution of his retirement plans, wearied by the petty squabbles of Rocksalt’s townsfolk. It’s all business as usual, until the murder of a local bar owner draws an unlikely suspect who threatens to fan the flames of Mick’s past. When two more bodies turn up, seemingly unconnected to the first, Mick is forced to reckon with the mysterious circumstances of a case not so open-and-shut as everyone believes. Meanwhile, Linda is slowly healing when a familiar business tycoon with a vested interest in her returning as sheriff makes it difficult for her to remain on the sidelines.

Unflinching and devilishly compulsive, The Reluctant Sheriff is an explosive thriller confirming Chris Offutt as a Southern writer of muscular prose and unrivaled talent.

The Reluctant Sheriff

Harry Alexander is a failing art student at a prestigious college who grew up walking past the portraits of his ancestors, the Great Alexanders, whose artistic, musical and literary achievements are celebrated around the world. Unfortunately, Harry's uncle and sole guardian has always been determined to keep Harry away from the limelight. When his uncle suddenly dies, Harry learns he's been cut from the family inheritance. His dream of joining his forebears on the portrait wall appears to be lost for ever. But then Harry receives the key to a mysterious storage unit containing the secret to his family's fortune and success, wrapped in a beautiful smile: a muse. The muse, a supernatural being trapped in oil and canvas, steps into Harry's life in the form of a handsome young man. For decades, his tutelage has caused the Great Alexanders' success. Now, he longs for freedom. Harry quickly discovers the muse is as dangerous as he is beautiful, as capricious as he is inspiring. But the closer the pair grow, the more Harry learns that muses are made, not born, and his has a dark and bloody origin. What's more, he isn't the only one who knows of the muse's existence. Enemies lengthen the shadows as Harry's light grows brighter, hungry for greatness of their own...
