Acerbic, dry wit with a few out loud laughs. Typical Russo. Husband/wife push and pull. Trashy LA versus back east Ivy League snobbery. And an overriding dose of aging parents intruding themselves both before and after they pass. All tongue firmly in cheek.

In her first stand-alone novel, Coel continues in the realm of contemporary Native American affairs. After being followed and attacked, Denver investigative reporter Catherine McLeod believes it is due to an article she wrote about the Sand Creek Massacre, the century-old slaughter of peaceful Native Americans by a local militia. But what secret could she have unlocked from this ancient crime that would threaten her life today?
