This is the first book in a series featuring Anna Turnipseed (Modoc Indian FBI agent) and Emmett Quanah Parker (Comanche BIA agent). Of course this series will draw comparisons to Tony Hillerman. Overall, I enjoyed this one as Parker and Turnipseed look into the brutal murder of a female BLM agent who was found on a remote Havasupai Indian Reservation with her face and teeth removed! This leads on to an inside look at Native American gaming and its affect on the Native American people on the reservations including a powerful influence by the Jamaican mafia. Parker ends up meeting an old nemesis who he had faced at Wounded Knee in South Dakota 10 years earlier and who had kidnapped Turnipseed while she was undercover at a Shoshone casino. Some very tense moments throughout the novel which I would recommend and I will be looking for the next in the series: Spirit Sickness.
