Description
Raised by his grandfather on a reservation in North Dakota, Jodie Eagle learned the ways of his Sioux heritage. He realized life there was not for him. Jodie chooses a path that leads to the Pacific Northwest to become a Deputy Sheriff in North Bend, Washington, where a killer is kidnapping and killing children. One victim was the son of Jodi's friend and a classmate of Jodi's own son. Jodi consoled his son with stories and customs of his Native American heritage. Eight years after that murder, fingerprint evidence from a crime scene is matched with a body found near Anchorage, Alaska. This would solve the child murders, but created a new question...Who killed the killer? The effect of this turmoil weighed heavily on residents of Jodi's adopted hometown of North Bend. The emotional wounds ran deep. His department would find closure to this eight years old mystery, but not without implication of a one-time deputy. The many twists keep readers engrossed and turning pages with mind-bending surprises to the end.
