A Father John O'Malley/Vicky Holden mystery - Margaret Coel writes an engrossing murder mystery and at the same time teaches about Arapaho history and customs. This is a thoroughly enjoyable read.

From the bookcover: "On the windswept plains of Wyoming's Wind River Reservation, Arapahos have gathered for the Ethete powwow. It is a sacred time to reaffirm the balance and harmony in life. But these feelings of unity quickly give way to fear when tribal chairman Harvey Castle is found murdered in his tipi - and the eveidence points to his own nephew's guilt.

In his quest for the truth, O'Malley gets a rare glimpse into the Arapho life few outsiders ever see - and into a crime fewer could imagine..."
