[close] Chris Cherry had a great future, until he blew out his knee and ended his football career. Now, Chris has returned to his hometown (the mythical Murfee TX) to take a job as Deputy Sheriff, working under “the Judge”. This nourish, atmospheric thriller, set in Big Bend Country, is the work of debut author and DEA agent, J. Todd Scott. Corruption in the Sheriff’s Dept. and Border Control, drug runners, and missing persons fuel the tough as nails action. Much like life, not all of the mystery is wrapped up tight at the end, but that’s ok. The Far Empty is a great read. Scott’s work is being compared to Cormac McCarthy, James Lee Burke and Don Winslow. I’m looking forward to reading more by J. Todd Scott.
