A Mind of Winter — Christopher Brookhouse

In this final installment of the Gus Salt series, the sheriff of Harr County, North Carolina, meets up again with the scofflaw Hunt brothers as he searches for the identity of a burned body and the whereabouts of a missing woman, who seems connected to tragic events far beyound Harr County's borders. It's a cold and gloomy January, no solace for Gus in his personal winter of discontent.
