The killing hills
(Book)

"Mick Hardin, a combat veteran now working as an Army CID agent, returns home on a leave that is almost done. His sister, newly risen to sheriff, has just landed her first murder case, and local politicians are pushing for city police or the FBI to take the case. She calls on Mick who, with his investigation experience and his familiarity with the terrain, is well-suited to staying under the radar. As he delves into the investigation, he dodges his commanding officer's increasingly urgent calls while attempting to head off further murders."--,Provided by publisher.
