This is for the Indian priest.

The cryptic message was clearly meant for Father O’Malley. The unemotional voice on the answering machine, speaking of revenge against old enemies, wanted O’Malley to visit the site of the Bates Battle. In 1874, Shoshone warriors led Captain Alfred Bates’s 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 Holden’s latest client, Frankie Montana, has become the number one suspect in their deaths. Despite his less than sterling background, Vicky doesn’t believe he’s capable of murder. Someone is trying to stir up a war between the Arapaho and Shoshone people—and tear open the painful wounds of the past once more…

I really enjoy this series. Good character development, interesting plots, sympathetic characters. Seems to be a decent representation of the conditions of life of the Native Americans.

5.0 out of 5 stars War on the Rez?
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2014

Three Shoshone Indians are shot to death on the historic battleground of an Arapaho massacre. Chilling phone messages are left that indicate the Arapahoes are taking revenge against their ancestral enemies. The media loves the story. The headlines are screaming "Tribal War!" And fear and unrest are spreading among the Indians.

Father John O'Malley from the St. Francis Mission and Arapaho lawyer Vicki Holden are as usual in the thick of the action. Father John found the bodies, and Vicki is defending the chief suspect, a young Arapaho ne'er-do-well.

The story is quite gripping with several interesting subplots. Father John is dealing with the active alcoholism of his new assistant while struggling to maintain his own sobriety. Vicki is trying to make a go of new relationship, and it's not easy. A young girl, considered white trash by almost everybody, is faced with hard decisions about her pregnancy. One of the murdered Indians is the baby's father.

In the midst of all this Father John and Vicki get involved in life-threatening situations. I enjoy watching these two in action. In this book Father John exercises his fighting skills, and Vicki shows herself to be quick with a gun. The suppressed attraction between the two of them adds a certain tension to a plot already full of tensions.

The Wind River mysteries are always entertaining. Eye of the Wolf is particularly good.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Nice History Lesson

I have always been interested in NA history, but was not familiar with the Bates Battle. I’m glad that now I am.
If you’re interested in Native culture, especially Arapaho, I recommend this series. It rings very true to their culture to me.
I have to admit that at this point, I’ve realized that few characters are written into these stories unless they are possible suspects, so I figured out who the killer was pretty fast. That’s OK, it’s still a mystery how they did it and how John and Vickie figure it all out.

I'm a big fan of this series and have read most of the books. This was one I'd missed. Unfortunately, I don't think it is as good as the others. Everything moved in slow motion. There was the same interplay between Vicki Holden and Father John. Maybe I've read so many that the characters seem frozen in time and aren't moving forward in any way. I'll continue to read new books as they come out because I enjoy the Wind River Mystery series.

Egregious usage mistake (pp. 76 & 183 of H.C. Edition): flare used where flair was correct. At the very least the publisher should have caught this, but the writer should have known the difference.

Ms. Coel has a knack for taking you into the place - the high plains of Wyoming - and the tension between her two protagonists is well executed. Her ability to weave native american history into a mystery is really rewarding. There are always many layers to her stories and I cannot wait to read the next one in this series.
