Bestselling author Margaret Coel offers readers another fascinating glimpse into life on and around the Wind River Reservation. Opening the Great Plains Casino was a controversial issue on the reservation: On the one hand, it provided much-needed job opportunities; on the other, some people saw it as a departure from traditional tribal life and an added threat in the form of opportunities to indulge dangerous gambling addictions.
With the disappearance of a young man and his old friend Vicky Holden accused of murder, Father John O'Malley must prove his hunch that both events are connected to a dangerous sect leader known as Orlando-who has resurrected the old Shadow Dance religion.
