When an ancient petroglyph is stolen from the remote Red
Cliff Canyon adjacent to the Wind River Reservation,
Father John O'Malley is drawn into the dark underbelly of
the illegal market for Indian artifacts.
The Arapahos call the stolen petroglyph "The Drowning Man"
because of its haunting image of a human figure struggling
under water. A priceless artifact to the tribe, the sacred
object is worth a quarter of a million dollars to the
thieves who took it.
After receiving the ransom demand, Father John is
determined to uncover the identity of the culprits and
recover the petroglyph. The theft is nearly identical to
an unsolved, seven-year-old case involving another stolen
petroglyph and the murder of one of the thieves. Attorney
Vicky Holden joins Father John to piece together the
events of the past seven years. Along the way, they
uncover a deep, dangerous conspiracy running through the
reservation determined to loot the sacred objects and
threatening anyone, including Vicky and Father John, who
gets in the way.
