My review...

This is my first Nick Drake mystery, and although I rarely go back in a series, I think I’ll have to do so here.

This is an excellent story, full of suspense, but that isn’t what kept me reading. It’s the characters and most importantly, Nick. I suppose I have a weakness for those somewhat moody, stalwart good guys, and Holing sure created one here.

I also liked the setting. This has a Native American flair and a Western flavor. My kind of book.




New Badge. Old Blood.

Nick Drake traded his past for the Sheriff’s star, but Harney County doesn’t do election honeymoons. His tenure kicks off with a double homicide staged as a murder-suicide—a lie Nick isn't buying. As he digs into the crime’s rotting core, the rookie Sheriff finds himself fighting a war on two fronts: a lethal learning curve with unproven deputies and a political recall designed to bury him. In the high lonesome where secrets kill, Nick must strike first and strike hard. Because in this office, the only thing shorter than his term is his life expectancy.
