The Sorrow Hand (The Nick Drake Mysteries)

The Sorrow Hand (The Nick Drake Mysteries)
For Vietnam veteran turned wildlife ranger Nick Drake, the war at home proves just as deadly. A contemporary western thriller.Harney County, Oregon, 1968: Nick Drake has a chest full of medals and enough demons to fill a duffle bag. Heâ€™s been trained to kill, but never retrained to rejoin society. Drake flees to the lonesome high desert in search of redemption and takes a job patrolling wildlife refuges where the only conflicts are keeping out stray cows and ticketing poachers. But then he stumbles across a girlâ€™s body ritually placed in a gully. Her murder is only the beginning, and Drake must face humanityâ€™s heart of darkness once again if heâ€™s to stop a killer from turning even more gullies into graves.What Advance Copy readers are saying:
- Fits right alongside Craig Johnson, C.J. Box, and Nevada Barr.
- Iâ€™m a huge fan of contemporary westerns married with a mystery. This nails it.
- Nick Drake is wonderfully complex. His backstory in Vietnam is beautifully (and horrifically) described.
- The supporting characters feel so real. The old lawman, Deputy Pudge Warbler, is as flinty and resolute as his pitiless territory.
- I absolutely loved the Native American character, her language and myths.
- Got it on Friday and finished it on Saturday. An amazing read.
- Smart, thrilling, and action-packed.
- The prose crackles like the high desert setting.
- The descriptions of the natural surroundings put me right there. I could touch, smell, and hear it.
