Drawn at the request of the tribal chief into helping to continue the investigation where the murder victim left off, and inevitably into the search for his killer, Noah encounters a mixed bag of odd characters, tangles with the U.S. government, exasperates his law partner, and becomes a target for a mysterious figure with a rifle. Things, Noah learns, are seldom what they seem. But readers are rewarded with a story that will draw them into its pages and hold them involved and eager to follow to the end.
