"With her gritty mysteries steeped in authentic Native American culture, New York Times bestselling author Margaret Coel is "widely considered the most accomplished heir to Tony Hillerman's legacy," (Scripps Howard News Service). In the latest Wind River novel, Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley confront a ruthless killer in the wake of a miraculous event. A mysterious penitent confesses to murder, and then flees the confessional before Father John can identify him. Two months later, Vicky discovers rancher Dennis Carey shot dead in his truck along Blue Sky Highway. With the tragic news comes the exposure of an astonishing secret: the most sacred creature in Native American mythology, a white buffalo calf, was recently born on Carey's ranch. Making national headlines, the miraculous animal draws a flood of pilgrims to the reservation, frustrating an already difficult investigation. As visitors throw the reservation into turmoil, Vicky and Father John try to unravel the strange events surrounding both Carey's murder and the recent disappearances of three cowboys from his ranch. It could be coincidence, given the nomadic life of the cowboy trade, but when one of them fails to appear in court to testify on an assault charge, Vicky wonders if Arnie Walkfast and his Arapaho buddies are guilty of more than just assault. And at the back of Father John's mind is the voice from the man in the confessional: I killed a man . . . " --… (mere)

He was at home with the Arapahos, a Plains Indian tribe he had once thought of as a footnote in a history book. Strange that he should be in this place. God worked in mysterious ways. Years of struggling with the thirst, in and out of rehab, stumbling through life teaching, or pretending to teach, in a Jesuit prep school in Boston. Then the assignment to an Indian reservation in the middle of Wyoming. He'd had to look up the place on the map. He had no idea where he was going. To the middle of nowhere, to the ends of the earth.

I liked this book better than her last one. I'm afraid the ending is setting us up for the end of the series and I would be disappointed if that happened. ( )

Excellent series and a good new episode. A cultural clash inflamed by the arrival of a white buffalo calf. The why of disappearing white cowboys becomes the crux of the mystery behind two shooting deaths. Are the Raps killing white men to chase others away or is there some other reason? Vicky Holden and Father John seek the answers for the families and friends of the missing men. Another insightful story about the complexities that emanate from the difficulties of enabling Native Americans to survive in the current world. ( )

Missing cowboys from a buffalo ranch. A sacred whit calf born on the same ranch. One of the ranch owners murdered all add up to another well written book in the Wind River mystery series. ( )
