Catherine is an investigative reporter for a major Denver
newspaper. At first she thinks someone wants her dead
because of what she must have written for the paper. But
soon she realizes that she has been targeted for death
because of what she might write in the future. She has no
idea of what that might be.
As an assassin closes in, Catherine finds herself in a
race for her life to uncover the story that someone is
determined to keep hidden. Soon she realizes the story
revolves around a massacre of Arapaho and Cheyenne Indians
in 1864—the Sand Creek Massacre—and the efforts of the
tribes to build a 300 million dollar casino on the plains
close to Denver. But behind the headlines, Catherine comes
to understand, is the real story of what happened in the
past, a story buried for one hundred and fifty years.
And behind the facts of that story is someone who wants
her dead.
The race to uncover the truth takes Catherine through the
streets and neighborhoods of Denver to the power centers
of Washington, D.C. Desperate to stay one step ahead of
the assassin stalking her, Catherine sheds her old
identity and everything familiar in her life, gradually
becoming someone else. Along the way, she must come to
terms with her own past and the Arapaho blood that she had
never acknowledged. But only by facing the past can she
write a story never before told and, ultimately, save her
own life.
