About this listen

Thrilling whitewater adventure, an ancient demon, a sexy new boss, trouble at home, and murder combine in this spellbinding new installment of Arts & Letters Fiction Prize winner Dwight Holing’s Nick Drake mystery series.

When US Fish & Wildlife Ranger Nick Drake gets a beautiful and impetuous new supervisor, he quickly becomes pulled into a physical and emotional cauldron after she orders him to guide her down a dangerous and deadly river. As rapids roar and passions roil, Nick must battle waterfalls and whirlpools, an unearthly predator killing anything that ventures into its realm, and doubts about his frayed marriage following the adoption of a psychologically scarred boy.

At the same time, Sheriff Pudge Warbler confronts demons of his own while transporting a killer to the state penitentiary. A snowstorm blocks a mountain pass and strands the old lawman and his cunning prisoner at an isolated lodge where checking out takes on an entirely different meaning.

Can Nick and Pudge fighting the depths of evil on separate battlefields draw upon their courage to win or will death finally prevail over one or both?

In The Demon Skin, the seventh installment of the popular Nick Drake series, Dwight Holing once again draws on his deeply-rooted connection to the American West and understanding of the natural world to create a masterful literary thriller populated by unforgettable characters and unstoppable action that will keep listeners up late into the night.

Sad it’s over

I have become so attached to the characters in this series that I actually feel a bit of grief with this last book being finished. The story was tense, very exciting, and the narration of the book was exceptional. All of the Nick Drake books have made me want to learn more about the history and people of this part of Oregon. My boyfriend, who is also listening to the series, and I are planning a pilgrimage of sorts. (That’s not as unhinged as it sounds, we are only a couple of hours away.) I am so grateful to Dwight Holing and Charles Leggett for a memorable ride. I hope there are more Nick Drake books in the works.

The Demon Skin

Sometimes I listen to my audible books at bedtime. But the fast pace and excitement of this story hindered my sleep. But I listened during the day and finished in a day. Good story. I especially like the time frame of the books having grown up in the 60’s. The connection to the Vietnam war resurrected some sad feelings. It’s hard for younger people to understand what went on back then. The reminiscing by the two main characters brings to light how harrowing an experience they had. Hope there is more sequels to come.
