Synopsis
This is the tenth Vicky Holden/Father O'Malley mystery, set on the Arapaho Wind River Reservation. In 1907, Edward S. Curtis photographed Arapaho life at Wind River. Wanting some excitement in his pictures, he staged a raid on the reservation. When the enactment was over, the Chief's daughter had been shot and the circumstances of her death were never fully determined. The tragedy of the past is echoed in the present day; during an exhibit of those same photographs at the reservation, a descendant of the Chief's daughter is murdered and the exhibit's curator vanishes. IIt's up to Arapaho lawyer Vicky Holden and reservation priest Father John O'Malley to determine the possible link between the nearly century-old death and current events, all the while fighting their forbidden attraction to each other. Author Margaret Coel's story was inspired by the actual work of Curtis, who was famous for his Native American photographs.
