Introducing Raylene Little Moon, a singular female character straddling two cultures. Her Depression-era story features family honor, prairie justice, and the triumph of human decency.
1936. Hardscrabble times. When Raylene Little Moon's father is murdered in his Kansas City saloon, all clues point to the beloved uncle who helped raise her. Now family honor drives Raylene, a Lakota ranch hand and healer, to discover her uncle's motive for killing and properly punish him.
As Raylene tracks her uncle, Union Pacific Railroad detective John Murphy pursues Raylene across two states while working a missing-jewelry case. Following her onto South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation, he stirs trouble that requires Raylene's intervention and mercy.
And the killer uncle carrying secrets? He's expecting Raylene and has planned a dramatic reckoning of his own.
Special thanks go out to cultural consultants Danialle Rose, of the Cheyenne River Sioux, and Thomas Ghost Dog, of the Oglala Nation, for their invaluable insights into culture, history, and language; and to Thomas for granting permission to use Manderson, South Dakota, nearby to which his grandfather William Ghost Dog sponsored the first rodeo held on Pine Ridge Reservation land.
