Blurbs from Lee Child(co author of later Child books and I like Child’s prose style) and Michael Connelly.

Likened to James Lee Burke (not even close in my opinion)

Ranger comes home from trashcanistan to small depressed Mississippi county awash in crime. Becomes sheriff. Everyone knows everyone so tangled up personal and professional, families and high school friends.

A bit formulaic but some good dialogue and nature writing. Church and strip clubs. Fishing, hunting, sweet tea.

Good summer read.

Edit correction:
Robert B Parker/Spenser author, not Child..

Also dark side to Nevada Barr’s ‘Deep South’ novel in the Natchez Trace park.
