Full Description
From the award-winning author of Winter Counts comes a new thriller about life - and death - on the Rosebud Indian Reservation.
Virgil Wounded Horse is desperately trying to escape his past as a hired vigilante on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. But when a legendary figure from the reservation is murdered, he's forced to return to the job. Making matters more complicated are threats coming from the Pine Ridge 705 - a street gang from a neighboring reservation who want to expand their reach into Rosebud - and Mitch Gagnon, a shady politician who will stop at nothing to gain more power.
With a heated tribal council election looming, as well as new revelations regarding past injustices at the local Native boarding school, the stakes grow even higher. Will Virgil find the justice he's seeking before it's too late?
David Heska Wanbli Weiden, whose writing 'melds the gritty realism of Dashiell Hammett with the lyricism of Tommy Orange' (O, The Oprah Magazine), once again brings us a tour-de-force of crime fiction - and an expansive look at Native American life in a shifting world.
