Mystery
When tribal chairman Oscar Sweetwater asks Charlie Moon to
look into the murder of a fellow Ute, Billy Smoke, Charlie
agrees, but he doesn't expect to find anything. After all,
Billy's boss, U.S. Senator Patch Davidson, nearly died in
the ambush that night, too, so the FBI handled the
investigation and it's still unsolved. The senator does
happen to be Charlie's neighbor, though-their ranches
share a fence line-so maybe the senator will be more
forthcoming with him than he was with the FBI. Meanwhile, Charlie's aunt Daisy, an elderly tribal shaman
whose visions are looked upon by Charlie with skepticism
even when they ring true, has seen a woman desperate for
Charlie's help. Daisy begins to badger Charlie to look for
her, even though she can't tell him her name, where to
look, or why she's in trouble. All in all, it's shaping up to be another season in which
the gentleman rancher spends more time being a reluctant
investigator than working on his ranch, helping with the
cattle or in the hunt for Two-toes, the bobcat who's been
sneaking up on his men at work. And truth be told, he'd
rather go after the cat, who doesn't seem as dangerous as
Senator Davidson's enemies or Billy Smoke's "business"
connections.
