From the multi-award-winning author of Winter Counts comes an unforgettable thriller about life - and death - on the Rosebud Native American Reservation. 'A tour de force!' S.A COSBY Virgil Wounded Horse is trying to leave behind his past as a hired enforcer. But when a revered figure on the reservation is found murdered, he is drawn back into a world he thought he'd escaped. As tensions rise, threats emerge from all sides: a ruthless gang from a neighbouring reservation looking to expand their reach, and a powerful politician determined to tighten his grip at any cost. With a heated tribal council election looming and long-buried truths regarding past injustices at the local Native boarding school coming to light, the pressure mounts. For Virgil, the search for justice becomes ever more urgent - and more dangerous. Because on Rosebud, the past is never truly gone, and every answer comes with a price.
