In the hot, dry New Mexico wilderness, Will and Billy, two half-Cherokee ranchers, discover a corpse and a suitcase containing nearly a million dollars. As the two friends contemplate what to do with the money, they set into motion a series of events that will cost them more than they want to pay. Volume 41 in the American Indian Literature and Critical Studies Series

Louis Owens is Professor of English and Native American Studies at the University of California, Davis.

Reviews

  • Louis Owens is one of the most important mixed-blood writers of our times. I have read nearly all his books and highly recommend them.

  • A good book, a bit slow at points, but the sense of mysticism and mystery keeps you going. Arrived on time.
