Hard Blue Empty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986697840)

Nature and noir combine in a spellbinding new stand-alone murder mystery by Dwight Holing, author of the bestselling Nick Drake series.

An Indigenous girl from the Amazon named Blue Macaw mysteriously disappears after oil drillers invade her ancestral homeland. When her brother is accused of murdering a company executive, a no-holds-barred activist persuades Jess Parks to use his search and rescue skills to find Blue Macaw and catch the real killer.

The chase is on and the consequences grow increasingly dire when Jess discovers he's not the only one hunting for her. The trail takes him from the gritty big city to the far reaches of the wildly beautiful but dangerous rainforest to the darkest corners of corporate greed and human ambition.

Can Jess outrun a ruthless pack of mercenaries? Will he uncover the truth behind Blue Macaw's disappearance? Can he learn the ancient traditions of her tribe to win their trust? And will he succeed in delivering justice for them and their imperiled world?

Hard Blue Empty masterfully weaves compelling characters and settings with mystery and suspense to create an adventurous thrill ride that will keep readers guessing until the last page is turned.
