Description
When Noah Ridge, a Red Power Native activist, arrives in the quiet town of Chinook, the community’s calm is shattered by the discovery of a body at the local Holiday—an ex-federal agent whose past is tied to a raid that ended in multiple deaths decades earlier. As the investigation draws together old wounds and new suspicions, the case also echoes the unresolved disappearance of Lucy Kettle, second-in-command of the Red Power movement, whose absence still hangs over everything. Blending mystery with political and cultural urgency, the story explores how history, power, and identity shape what gets remembered—and what gets buried. With Thomas King’s sharp, incisive storytelling and grounded sense of place, the novel turns a murder investigation into a reckoning with justice, accountability, and the long shadow of state violence.
