About this ebook

USA Today bestseller Melissa F. Miller’s Aroostine Higgins series continues with a case that requires the federal prosecutor to connect with her heritage in order to stop a remorseless killer.

Rumors of money skimming, murder, and stolen military weapons swirl around a Central Oregon reservation. Aroostine is sent to investigate in the hopes that her Native American roots will help her win trust in a community wary of outsiders.

She arrives to find her would-be informant executed in his home. As Aroostine digs deeper into rumors and the murder, she butts heads with tribal authorities bent on solving the crime and doling out punishment on their own terms. After Aroostine and her husband Joe narrowly escape a deadly ambush on the reservation, she’s not sure who she can trust … and who’s trying to kill her.

Keywords: women sleuths, mystery & thriller, mystery series, legal thriller, suspense, murder, bestseller, Native American fiction

I really enjoyed this book it lets you see the ongoing problems and mistreatment of the Native Ameerican Indian tribes. It allows the reader a view of the inner workings of tribal law while showing the unjust poverty even when casinos should provide funds for improvement. I will be looking for other books by this author and others along these lines.

About the author

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Melissa F. Miller was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Although life and love led her to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and, ultimately, South Central Pennsylvania, she secretly still considers Pittsburgh home.

In college, she majored in English literature with concentrations in creative writing poetry and medieval literature and was stunned, upon graduation, to learn that there's not exactly a job market for such a degree. After working as an editor for several years, Melissa returned to school to earn a law degree. She was that annoying girl who loved class and always raised her hand. She's clerked for a federal judge, worked for major international law firms, and started a two-person law firm with her lawyer husband.
