I didn't think I would enjoy any Waller books after the classic "Bridges of Madison County" but I was wrong. This story is in the same vein as Bridges but more exciting rather than romantic. The main character is a loner with a well defined personality and I pictured Tommy Lee Jones as I read the story. The native american character brings to mind the writings of Tony Hillerman with that vague air of mystery surrounding the ceremonies. It is well worth the read -- enjoyable.
