The cryptic message was clearly meant for Father OâMalley. The unemotional voice on the answering machine, speaking of revenge against old enemies, wanted OâMalley to visit the site of the Bates Battle. In 1874, Shoshone warriors led Captain Alfred Batesâs cavalry to Arapaho tribal grounds, and nearly everyone living there was massacred. As a nation, the Arapaho were finished, but their people survived. Now, someone has left three dead Shoshones on the old battlefield, positioned to mimic the bodies of those Arapaho killed in the historic slaughter.
Vicky Holdenâs latest client, Frankie Montana, has become the number one suspect in their deaths. Despite his less than sterling background, Vicky doesnât believe heâs capable of murder. Someone is trying to stir up a war between the Arapaho and Shoshone peopleâand tear open the painful wounds of the past once moreâĻ
