In the sequel to Cimarron Rose, defense attorney Billy Bob Holland comes up against ruthless local kingpin Earl Dietrich, when he takes on the case of Wilbur Pickett, accused of stealing $300,000 in bearer bonds from Dietrich's office, as well as painful secrets from his own past. 125,000 first printing.
Heartwood is a kind of tree that grows in layers. And as Billy Bob's grandfather once told him, you do well in life by keeping the roots in a clear stream and not letting anyone taint the water for you. But in Holland's dusty little hometown of Deaf Smith, in the hill country north of Austin, local kingpin Earl Deitrich has made a fortune running roughshod and tainting anyone who stands in his way. Billy Bob has problems with Deitrich and his shamelessly callous demeanor, but can't shake the legacy of his passion for Deitrich's "heartbreak-beautiful" wife, Peggy Jean.
When Holland takes on the defense of Wilbur Pickett - a man accused of stealing an heirloom and three hundred thousand dollars in bonds from Deitrich's office - he finds himself up against not only Earl's power and influence, but also a past Billy Bob can't will away.
