Nick Drake returns in the thrilling sequel to The Sorrow Hand. A contemporary western thriller.
Set in 1968, Nick Drake is a troubled Vietnam War veteran seeking redemption as a game warden in a quiet land. But when a fighter pilot from a nearby Air Force base mysteriously plummets onto one of his refuges, he is plunged into a deadly showdown with the military. A vexing mystery involving multiple murders ensues, and Nick must turn to the old ways of his Paiute neighbors to hunt for a vicious killer and bring justice to the pitiless high desert.

Read as a standalone or as part of the series.

Award-winning author Dwight Holing draws on his deeply rooted connection to the American West and understanding of the natural world to create a masterful story. With memorable characters and prose that crackles like the unforgiving setting, the suspense builds and drives The Pity Heart to a climax as powerful as a force of nature.

Industry Reviews

The Pity Heart is a great follow up to The Sorrow Hand. Like the previous book in the series, it is beautifully written and pulls you right in. All the characters are very well drawn. Nick deals with multiple mysteries and, in the process, delves deeper into the local Native American community and their tribal lore. -- Haris Orkin, Goodreads

In his follow-up to the highly successful and widely-acclaimed The Sorrow Hand, Dwight Holing and Nick Drake are back at again in The Pity Heart. This time, Nick is not only battling a new crop of bad guys but also battling the ghosts of his past. What impressed me most about this second outing is the emphasis on Native American folklore and mysticism and the way that it figures into the story. I found this novel to be more philosophical (don’t worry folks, there’s plenty of action to keep you riveted!) as well as a chance to get to know Nick better. Kudos again to Holing for another well-written and captivating story! -- Jeffrey Miller, Amazon
