What People are Saying About This

Tony Hillerman

"Margaret Coel's account of Arapahos Wind Riber Reservation shouldn't be missed by anyone interested in either new trend in mystery writing or contemporary American Indian culture. She's a master of both."

From the Publisher

“Tony Hillerman calls Margaret Coel ‘a master’ of her craft. It is no wonder. [She] brings Native Americans to the fictional frontier in a way that honors the genre.” —The Denver Post

“An intense and fascinating story of avarice, tragic old wrongs, and ultimate justice…[it] takes our breath away.”—Earlene Fowler

“Now widely considered the most accomplished heir to Tony Hillerman’s legacy.” —Scripps Howard News Service
