Night of the White Buffalo
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
A mysterious penitent confesses to murder, and then flees the confessional before Father John can identify him. Two months later, Vicky discovers rancher Dennis Carey shot dead in his truck along Blue Sky Highway. With the tragic news comes the exposure of an astonishing secret: the most sacred creature in Native American mythology, a white buffalo calf, was recently born on Carey’s ranch.
Making national headlines, the miraculous animal draws a flood of pilgrims to the reservation, frustrating an already difficult investigation. As visitors throw the reservation into turmoil, Vicky and Father John try to unravel the strange events surrounding both Carey’s murder and the recent disappearances of three cowboys from his ranch.
It could be coincidence, given the nomadic life of the cowboy trade, but when one of them fails to appear in court to testify on an assault charge, Vicky wonders if Arnie Walkfast and his Arapaho buddies are guilty of more than just assault. And at the back of Father John’s mind is the voice from the man in the confessional: I killed a man…

- With her gritty mysteries steeped in authentic Native American culture, New York Times bestselling author Margaret Coel is “widely considered the most accomplished heir to Tony Hillerman’s legacy,” (Scripps Howard News Service). In the latest Wind River novel, Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and Father John O’Malley confront a ruthless killer in the wake of a miraculous event.
A mysterious penitent confesses to murder, and then flees the confessional before Father John can identify him. Two months later, Vicky discovers rancher Dennis Carey shot dead in his truck along Blue Sky Highway. With the tragic news comes the exposure of an astonishing secret: the most sacred creature in Native American mythology, a white buffalo calf, was recently born on Carey’s ranch.
Making national headlines, the miraculous animal draws a flood of pilgrims to the reservation, frustrating an already difficult investigation. As visitors throw the reservation into turmoil, Vicky and Father John try to unravel the strange events surrounding both Carey’s murder and the recent disappearances of three cowboys from his ranch.
It could be coincidence, given the nomadic life of the cowboy trade, but when one of them fails to appear in court to testify on an assault charge, Vicky wonders if Arnie Walkfast and his Arapaho buddies are guilty of more than just assault. And at the back of Father John’s mind is the voice from the man in the confessional: I killed a man…

At the start of Coel’s compelling 18th mystery set on Wyoming’s Wind River Reservation (after 2013’s Killing Custer), a man enters the confessional to tell Fr. John O’Malley he has committed murder, then runs away before the priest can identify him. Weeks later, attorneys Vicky Holden and Adam Lone Eagle find Dennis Carey, who operates a buffalo ranch on the reservation, shot dead in his pickup. His widow, Sheila, reveals that a white buffalo calf, considered sacred to the Plains tribes, was recently born on the ranch. As local authorities prepare for a surge of visitors, Vicky and Father John investigate rumors that several of the Careys’ hired hands have disappeared. When the owner of a local employment agency who sent the missing cowboys to the Carey ranch is shot, they realize they’re up against a merciless killer. Coel deftly inscribes Arapaho tradition and culture into the Western landscape, portraying both the grace and the squalor of reservation life. Agent: Rick Henshaw, Richard Henshaw Group.

A blessing is followed by a curse at the Broken Buffalo ranch, owned by Dennis and Sheila Carey on the Arapaho reservation. The week after the birth of a white buffalo calfconsidered by Native Americans to be a sacred message that the Creator is with the peopleDennis Carey is murdered, apparently by someone he knew. Sheila Carey fingers disgruntled ranch hand Rick Tomlin, who has disappeared, failing even to appear at the trial of Arnie Walkfast, Vicky Holden's client, whom Tomlin accused of assault. Father John O'Malley, puzzling over a murder confession from an anonymous cowboy months earlier, pieces together the disappearance of six hands from the Broken Buffalo, their work confirmed by Ranchlands Employment owner Steve Mantle, who is soon after murdered in his office with his records stolen. Both Holden, who comes to a crossroads in her relationship with Adam Lone Eagle, and O'Malley are at risk when they discover the dreadful truth. The white buffalo calf adds an element of spiritualism to this eighteenth entry in the consistently strong Wind River series, with the Holden-O'Malley relationship still simmering as something more than friendship.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
