Moncrieff's novel is a lightning-fast read, which is not a bad thing.
She paints a vivid picture of the lost tribe and weaves her story arcs
together brilliantly. She also sheds light on Native peoples' treatment
in both past and present, smoothly integrating the issue into the novel.
Readers won't want to put it down. -- Booklist
People are dying at Strong Lake, and the worst is yet to come.
An idyllic weekend camping trip is cut short when Reese Wallace s
friends are brutally murdered. As the group s only survivor, Reese is
the prime suspect, and his story doesn t make much sense. A disembodied
voice warning him to leave the campground the night before? A strange,
blackened tree that gave him an electric shock when he cut it down for
firewood?
Detective Greyeyes isn t having any of it until she hears the voice
herself and finds an arrowhead at the crime scene an arrowhead she can t
get rid of. Troubling visions of a doomed Native American tribe who once
called the campground home, and rumors of cursed land and a mythical
beast plague the strangest murder case she s ever been a part of.
