Summary
A murdered man in a field. The sheriff needs Cash - a 20-something tough, smart Indian woman with special seeing powers.
Cash and Sheriff Wheaton make for a strange partnership. He pulled her from her mother's wrecked car when she was 3. He's kept an eye out for her ever since. It's a tough place to live - northern Minnesota along the Red River. Cash navigated through foster homes, and at 13 was working farms. She's tough as nails, 5 feet, 2 inches, blue jeans, blue jean jacket, smokes Marlboros, drinks Bud Longnecks. Makes her living driving truck. Playing pool on the side.
Wheaton is big lawman type. Maybe Scandinavian stock, but darker skin than most. He wants her to take hold of her life. Get into junior college. So there they are, staring at the dead Indian lying in the field. Soon Cash was dreaming the dead man's cheap house on the Red Lake Reservation, mother and kids waiting. She has that kind of power. That's the place to start looking. There's a long and dangerous way to go to find the men who killed him. Plus there's Jim, the married white guy. And Long Braids, the Indian guy headed for Minneapolis to join the American Indian Movement.

Terrible
This is just an advert for Marlboro and Budweiser,the narrator sounds like she’s falling asleep and the story is non existent, go take up watching paint dry it’s better use of your time.

Listen for more than the mystery
I am always seeking out good mysteries. Most of the female amateur sleuth stories i have the following traits:
- Agatha Christie wannabees (including using racist and classist language)
- centred on white middle/upper class women
- if set in "exotic" locations, indigenous people are only a backdrop.
This story centres a young indigenous woman whose personal and community's experience of state violence means she has more going on than worrying about her weight.
Wished I'd found this a long time ago!

Excellent
Absolutely wonderful book beautifully read by Siiri Scott. Her voice really pulled me into the story. How terrible to hear what authority did to families. This has happened in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and many other countries. Thank you for this excellent book.

So compelling
A lot of sadness and the plight of the children even though it was fiction struck home how much the Native American Indians had to put up with. Enjoyed it but would have liked a bit more cheerfulness.
