Suspense
Dinah Pelerin has finally put her life in order. Living in
Berlin with her boyfriend Thor, she has landed a job
teaching Native American cultures at the university. She's
never felt happier. And then her Seminole mother Swan shows
up with a crazy scheme to blackmail a German tax dodger and
dredges up a secret Dinah has kept hidden from the IRS and
from straight-arrow Norwegian Thor, a former cop now with
hush-hush international duties. Germans harbor a century-long fascination with the American
Wild West and American Indians. Some enthusiasts dress up as
Indians and adopt Indian names. Like Der Indianer Club which
has invited Swan to a powwow where she plans to meet her
blackmail victim. Dinah tries to head her off, but arrives
at the scene too late. A man has been killed and scalped and
Swan quickly becomes the prime suspect. Torn between love
for her mother and dismay at her incessant lies, Dinah sets
out to find the killer—hoping the killer doesn't turn out to
share her DNA. But Swan isn't the only liar. Everyone is lying about
something. Margaret, Swan’s dead ex-husband’s former wife,
come to the city with Swan. Dinah’s teen-age “ward.” Thor.
Especially Dinah. Ghosts of Germany's terrible history haunt
Berlin while she faces exorcising a hateful ghost of her own.
