PRAISE FOR THE BAD AXE COUNTY SERIES AND JOHN GALLIGAN

“As unique a place in the mystery universe as you will ever find and in the eloquent prose of John Galligan it comes alive in a ride that is smooth, unexpected, and memorable. This book is a diamond in the rough.“—Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Law of Innocence

“Madison author Galligan has written another gritty, gripping addition to his series set in rural Wisconsin. Kick, as her name implies, strikes hard when she’s forced to.” —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“If Joseph Conrad had really wanted to find the heart of darkness, he’d have looked in Bad Axe County. Lurking in the isolated coulees at the edge of the Mississippi River are some of the meanest, foulest, cruelest hearts imaginable, and John Galligan evokes them with all the intensity of a mad poet. But in county sheriff Heidi Kick, a woman chipped and broken on every edge, Galligan offers a righteous force in opposition…A dark beauty of a novel.” – William Kent Krueger, New York Times Bestselling author of Desolation Mountain
