BURY MY HEART AT REDTREE
Patrick Chalfant

Reviewed by Jory Reedy

Thriller Psychological

A mission to avenge the senseless deaths of innocent people is the driving force behind the murderous rampage of wealthy business owners. Taylor Hayes, a psychology graduate student, was born of white parents, but adopted and raised by Native Americans. He, along with Elijah and Keith, set out to rid the community of the people responsible for the deaths of Taylor's adoptive parents and others who died from some type of poisoning at Kickingbird, the housing unit where they lived. Taylor, being the dedicated student that he is, is also using the killings as an experiment on human behavior and is compiling research for his psychology thesis.

The one constant in Taylor's life is his girlfriend, Wendy Ralston. Also completing her degree, she's employed part- time at a local bank. Her boss, Kyle Gayland, is known on the surface as being a good humanitarian and very giving to minorities. But little do they know that he's harboring a dark past of greed and deceit. For one thing, he's holding Wendy's parent's mortgage over her head in order to keep her working for him. Taylor doesn't trust him, not only because he tried to seduce Wendy, but he believes Gayland is responsible for the deaths of his parent's and sets out to prove it.

Things do begin to come together when someone spots Gayland at Redtree, another housing unit where people are mysteriously becoming ill. Experienced detective Stan Jennings, at this time, is just focused on the killings. But after information comes his way about Redtree, it leads him to Kickingbird, Kyle Gayland and then Taylor. Is there a connection and will justice be served?

BURY MY HEART AT REDTREE is a psychological thriller that's fast-paced and keeps you guessing until the conclusion. So, read this book cover to cover with no peeking at the ending. The true masterminds of the crimes are revealed when you least expect it.

SUMMARY

This book combines Patrick Chalfant's pride in his Osage
Indian heritage with his passion for penning stories that
capture the essence of life in the American heartland. As
in his debut novel, When the Levee Breaks, this ground-
breaking novel unites relentless suspense, charismatic
characters, and plot twists so shocking that even the most
seasoned reader will be enthralled until the page-turning
finale. Bury My Heart at Redtree is a haunting exploration
of the conflict that resonates deep in one mans soul. Set
against the grandeur of the Great Plains and reflective of
the storm raging in the heart of Americas legal system, it
is Chalfant at his thrilling, thought-provoking best.
