Excellent story.
This follows Virgil Wounded Horse, known on the reservation as someone who doles out justice when law enforcement lets the citizens down. He's asked to look into the rumor that someone is starting to deal heroin on the reservation and set the people right if it's true. Virgil isn't interested until the claim hits close to home, and he starts digging.
This is a fast paced book, where the plot is a little predictable, you can see where it's heading early on, but it's still very well done. The characters and their flaws are very endearing and lovable.
The story also touches on the quality of life on reservations, and the problems indigenous people are still facing today.
If you like mystery novels, this is definitely worth your time.
