The “Sorrow Hand” was my first Dwight Holing novel and the first in the Nick Drake series. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this novel set in 1968 in cattle country, specifically “Harney County, Oregon.” Having lived in Burns, Oregon, which is mentioned many times in the book, I can relate to many locations noted. The author knows his history of eastern Oregon. Included are cowboys, the “Malheur National Wildlife Refuge,” the Paiute Indian Tribe, and more. I found the novel to be educating, fun, and engaging. The deputy sheriff is hilarious. Steve Marvel, the narrator, did an excellent job. I have already finished the second one in this series, and it is also great.
