| Publisher Description: Native American game warden John Fox discovers the body of wildlife activist Trish O'Neill in a Colorado prairie dog town. Fox, who felt he'd earned the right to a simple life, sees 'simple' slipping from his grasp. For before long he finds himself entangled in murder, mystery, romance and more. Meanwhile, Trish's sister Faith questions the circumstances of O'Neill's death. She also rejects history's silent treatment of her hero crush, Cavalry Capt. Silas Soule--dead for a hundred years but very much alive in "Unsung Hero," the historical novella she struggles to finish... Capt. Soule can't stop thinking of Hersa, glaring up at him from her puddle of milk. What will happen to her and her kin after the Indian raid? Winter quickly recaptures his attention, as he marches Chief Black Kettle and other Native leaders to Denver to negotiate terms of surrender. As tensions rise in the ranks, Soule frets over the fate of the peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho families waiting quietly along the banks of Sand Creek... |
