Mystery

FBI agent Manny Tanno is taking some much needed R and R at the site of the Battle of Little Big Horn. But when a death on the reservation cuts his vacation short, he learns that the secrets of the past have a way of stirring up trouble in the present. As a scout for the legendary General Custer, Crow tribe member Levi Star Dancer kept a journal chronicling his exploits from the Battle of the Greasy Grass onward. Now, the missing journal has been found and the descendents of those mentioned in the account, including Levi’s own, want to keep their family secrets hidden at all costs… Manny’s trip to the Crow Agency Reservation turns out to be ill timed when a reenactor of the Battle of Little Big Horn is killed right in front of him. It turns out the victim was the one who found Levi Star Dancer’s famed diary and was planning on selling it to the highest bidder. And while the dead body is hard to miss, the coveted book is nowhere to be found. Now, Manny has to watch his back while searching for a murderer and the missing journal, because this slippery killer will do anything to make sure the past stays buried.

Re: Death on the Greasy Grass

I'm glad that you've taken the time to keep History alive through your writing, even if it is Fiction. The Native American deserves respect, and their story deserves to be told in whatever capacity. I have always been fascinated with them myself, and admire some of the rules they live by - such as their respect for the land, plants, and animals. A lot of their adages are true as well. They are also an artistic people. The beadwork on headdresses and other artifacts are outstanding, and they also do other crafting that can't be matched by the "white man." I take my hat off to them, and give them my utmost respect. Thank you for sharing their little corner of the world with us.

History is a wonderful thing. It teaches us a great deal of how to move
forward in our lives.

I always loved the Tony Hillerman books as they are written with such respect for the land and for the people who live on it. If your books are like his I am sure I will enjoy them.
I recently reviewed The Inconvenient Indian which makes similar points to yours.

I am a huge fan of the Spirit Road Mysteries. They are by far one of my favorite series, and I've had the pleasure of reviewing two of them for Fresh Fiction. The realistic characters are truly what bring me back over and over. It will be a series I not only continue to follow but will go back and re-read over and over.
