Hunter's Moon - Firedamp, #2 - E-book - ePub

Hunter's Moon follows Sam Garrett's debut in Firedamp as a young deputy sheriff taking over for his mentor and boss, Sheriff I. D. Atkins, who has been sidelined by a bootlegger's bullet in Bell County, Kentucky. In this sequel, Sam returns to Pineville after doing battle with gangsters in Cincinnati and Newport, Kentucky-the original "Sin City" of its time-only to become entangled with a local moonshiner out for revenge after the deputy removes the man's abused children from a run-down shack in Pickerin Hollow.
Hunter's Moon is also the story of how the greenhorn deputy deals with the odd assortment of characters and kinfolk who make up the patchwork quilt of his daily life. From an irascible federal revenuer to an enigmatic favorite aunt and a one-legged hillbilly cousin, Sam careens into one chaotic scene after another as his well-intentioned but sketchy schemes play out in ways he could not foretell.
