The Killing Hills

In "The Killing Hills," combat veteran Mick Hardin, now an Army CID agent, returns home on leave just as his wife is about to give birth, but their relationship is strained. His sister, the new sheriff, faces her first murder case amid pressure from local politicians questioning her capability. As Mick engages in the investigation, he navigates personal turmoil and the threat of further violence, revealing layers of betrayal among the local clans. Chris Offutt crafts a darkly compelling narrative that explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the complexities of familial ties.
