Sheriff Boot Edwards allows few exceptions to the rule of law in Cobb County, Kentucky. Katina’s Sanctuary, known as Katy’s Whorehouse, operates openly because Katy is a childhood friend, and a decent person. Seven prominent farmers grow pot, without fear of a raid, to keep the volume down. A prominent resident who gets murdered is stuffed into a car and which rams a utility pole. His death is officially declared accidental. The thing that gets the Sheriff’s blood up, really up, is when a New York drug cartel uses blackmail to get the Sheriff to allow their drug smuggling. When the Sheriff’s blood gets up—look out. The army he lines up to fight them consists of a one-time Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy with the hots for an unhappily married waitress, the county’s best turtle hunter, who hates the Sheriff’s guts, and a hired assassin, paid to shoot somebody else. Kiana, whose wayward daughter wants to make love to the County’s stud before moving west, never knew the secret love Boot Edwards had for her as a teenager. Nobody knew, until her husband died and she needed a friend. You won’t be able to put this one down.
