Some secrets are buried deep in the High Lonesome. Nick Drake brings more than a shovel to his new job as sheriff.
It is better to have less thunder in the mouth and more lightning in the hand. — Apache ProverbFollowing the shocking events of The Thunder Head, Nick Drake returns in his most volatile role yet as the newly-elected Sheriff of Harney County, Oregon. His tenure begins with a bloodbath, not a handshake, when a husband and wife are discovered shot dead. It looks like a tragic murder-suicide pact, but Nick Drake never takes things at face value. As he peels back the layers of the crime, he uncovers a web of secrets that proves the couple are far from the only victims.
Targeted by a vicious recall election and commanding a new squad of unproven deputies, the rookie sheriff is fighting a war on two fronts. There is no room for error when the learning curve is lethal. Nick Drake must strike hard and fast to protect the innocent before his political enemies or the criminals take him down.
The Yellow Hair delivers the trademark tension, unforgettable characters, and cinematic settings that Dwight Holing fans crave.
