All those Florida boys: Travis McGee by MacDonald, Thorne by
James W. Hall, Morgan Hunt by Geoffrey Norman, Max Freeman by
Jonathon King and of course Carl Hiaasen.
And John Connolly's Charlie Parker does Maine's woods quite
well. Of course, none of them are exclusively rural, but they
all have a great feel for the land.
And Robert B. Parker's relatively forgotten WILDERNESS from
early in his career, a sort of crime-fic take on DELIVERANCE,
is well worth checking out.
For that matter, so is DELIVERANCE.
