Description
When a young woman from a prominent local family is found dead at the base of Belly Butte—years after the fact—an investigation reopens old wounds and forces the community to confront what it has tried to bury. As the case draws Thumps DreadfulWater back into the orbit of power, privilege, and uneasy truths, he must navigate not only the mystery of Nina’s killer, but also the personal complications that threaten to derail him. With each new lead, the story sharpens its focus on malice, memory, and the ways institutions shape what counts as “justice.” Blending suspense with Thomas King’s distinctive, wry storytelling sensibility, this novel delivers a high-stakes reckoning that is as much about people and relationships as it is about solving a crime.
