Shepherd of the Wolves Redux

Come on inside William Slusher's popular ?rst novel of 1995, republished by demand, wherein you meet Lewis, the ?awed and troubled white sheriff of an isolated Virginia mountain county. You'll also meet Millie, the black woman jailhouse sergeant with attitude; Colby, the patrician country doctor; Pierce, the immense deputy you do not want to cross; a gentle old soul named Ivy Joe; and many other memorable characters. Both Lewis and you will meet a beautiful, black, uptown trial lawyer named Lucia, pronounced the sexy southern way: Loosha. Lucia grew up in remote Hunter County during the civil rights era and long ago ?ed its southern ambiance, but she's back now with some attitude of her own. She wants to know who murdered her widely beloved, ninety-something grandfather, and she's not in the mood for excuses. Ah, but from here, reader...you're on your own.
