When the body of a white man is recovered from a shallow grave in one of the most troubled corners of the Wind River Reservation, Father John O'Malley knows that if the murderer isn't caught quickly, this tragedy will only be the beginning. The victim's widow is already out for revenge. In the meantime, Father John's old friend Vicky Holden has just been hired as in-house counsel at the newly-opened Great Plains Casino. But trouble is brewing, as an angry group of protesters known as the Rangers is bent on proving the casino is a house of evil...and shutting it down for good.

As tensions rise, Father John and Vicky work feverishly to sort out the story. But when Vicky stumbles across some troubling evidence, she's suddenly caught in a dangerous game--with her own life at stake...

Description

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Prime Crime, 2003. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 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. Both sides had valid points, and Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden had mixed feelings about accepting the contract work the casino had recently thrown her way. Life is always a gamble, but when a body is found in a shallow grave on the reservation, it becomes clear that someone is raising the stakes. The first step has to be finding out why this man was killed, but the cops aren't having much luck with that. Despite help from Father John O'Malley, they're even having trouble finding the teenage girl who reported discovering the body. To add to the confusion, a white activist calling himself Captain Jack Monroe has set himself up as a self-appointed savior of the Indian People, recruiting "Rangers" to cause trouble for the casino and put an end to its evil influence. Killing Raven weaves a fascinating tapestry of tribal tensions, commercial controversies, ethical dilemmas, and unexpected dangers, where the stakes are literally life and death. Sue Stone. (Sue Stone, the Barnes and Noble Review). KILLING RAVEN is the ninth book book in the Wind River Reservation mystery series Fine, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.
