Description

In 1907, photographer Edward S. Curtis arrived at the Wind River Reservation, hoping to document the Arapaho way of life before it vanished altogether. To preserve the legacy of warriors in battle, Curtis staged an attack on a village planning to capture it on film. But it became all too real when the daughter of the tribe’s chief was found murdered--and her killer was never identified.

Now, Curtis’s photographs are on display at the museum of St. Francis Mission on the reservation, and history seems doomed to repeat itself. A descendant of the tribal chief who appeared in Curtis’s pictures has been shot to death, and the museum’s curator has disappeared. The two incidents may be linked to a near century-old murder.

fullDescription

In 1907, photographer Edward S. Curtis arrived at the Wind River Reservation, hoping to document the Arapaho way of life before it vanished altogether. To preserve the legacy of warriors in battle, Curtis staged an attack on a village planning to capture it on film. But it became all too real when the daughter of the tribe’s chief was found murdered--and her killer was never identified.

Now, Curtis’s photographs are on display at the museum of St. Francis Mission on the reservation, and history seems doomed to repeat itself. A descendant of the tribal chief who appeared in Curtis’s pictures has been shot to death, and the museum’s curator has disappeared. The two incidents may be linked to a near century-old murder.

      • content: Publishers Weekly proclaims that “of all the writers of Native American mysteries compared to Tony Hillerman, [Margaret] Coel is the one who most deserves the accolade”and Hillerman himself calls her “a master.” The author’s latest Wind River Reservation mystery finds Father John O’Malley and Vicky Holden investigating a murder that occurred nearly a century agoand its connection to a much more recent crime.

      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: By 1907, the Native American way of life is vanishing. Photographer Edward Curtis comes to the Arapaho Wind River Reservation to document these fading people. He reconstructs a village and stages an attack. During the shooting with blank bullets, Bashful Woman, daughter of Chief Sharp Nose, is murdered. As the story shifts to the present, Denise, a descendant of Sharp Nose, is murdered, and her husband, J.T. Painted Horse, is the prime suspect. Stephanie Brush's pacing weaves together these two distinct eras into a cohesive mystery. Flashbacks are integrated so expertly that the shifts between the present and the past flow like gossip through the "moccasin telegraph." Brush keeps the story moving at a good pace, presenting the clues skillfully enough to reward the careful listener and serving up the villains with an element of surprise. K.A.T.

        Starred review from August 9, 2004
        Bestseller Coel surpasses her own high standard in her 10th whodunit (after 2003's Killing Raven
        ) to feature Arapaho lawyer Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley. An exhibit of Edward S. Curtis's early 20th-century Plains Indians photographs has attracted a lot of visitors to the museum of St. Francis Mission on the Wind River Reservation. When someone shoots to death a descendant of a tribal chief shown in one of the Curtis pictures and the museum's new curator disappears, there could be a connection to a murder committed in 1907 on the rez. Meanwhile, Father John's assistant is preparing the mission for a visit from Wyoming senator Jaime Evans, who may soon be announcing his presidential candidacy and who proves to have a family link to the tell-tale Curtis photo. Handsome attorney Adam Lone Eagle steps from the shadows and resumes his pursuit of Vicky, who is still trying to come to terms with her fatal attraction to Father John. Stir in a crazed ex-CIA operative, and you have a hint of what awaits you in this action-filled page-turner. Coel draws readers into early Arapaho life as smoothly as she brings them into the sinister goings-on at present-day Wind River, masterfully blending authentic history with an ingenious plot. Agent, Rich Henshaw.
