When the body of a white man is recovered from a shallow grave in a troubled corner of the Wind River Reservation, Father John O’Malley’s only lead is a terrified fifteen-yearold girl running for her life.
The Wild River Reservation, once home to Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden, welcomes her home again when Adam Lone Eagle asks for her help in evaluating practices at the newly opened Great Plains Casino. As Vicky begins to investigate Lodestar Enterprises, which manages the casino, snooping almost gets her killed. Stephanie Brush adds the drama and style necessary to build this plot into a nail-biting climax. When Vicky's friend, Father John O'Malley, rushes to her rescue, Brush adds such tenderness to her narration that the depth of their intertwined lives becomes obvious. K.A.T.
