Suspense Women Sleuth | Women's Fiction
Set in 1970s Minnesota on the White
Earth Reservation, Pinckley Prize–winner Marcie R.
Rendon’s gripping new mystery follows Cash Blackbear,
a young Ojibwe woman, as she attempts to discover the truth
about the disappearances of Native girls and their
newborns.
A snowmelt has sent
floodwaters down to the fields of the Red River Valley,
dragging the body of an unidentified Native woman into the
town of Ada. The only evidence the medical examiner recovers
is a torn piece of paper inside her bra: a hymn written in
English and Ojibwe.
Cash Blackbear, a 19-year-
old, tough-as-nails Ojibwe woman, sometimes uses her special
abilities to help Sheriff Wheaton, her guardian, with his
investigations. When Cash sees the hymn, she knows her
search for justice for this anonymous victim will lead her
somewhere she hasn’t been in over a decade: the White
Earth Reservation, a place she once called home.
When Cash happens upon two small graves in the yard of
a rural, “speak-in-tongues kinda church,” she is
pulled into the lives of the pastor and his wife while yet
another Native woman turns up dead and her newborn is
nowhere to be found.
