SEPTEMBER CRIME CLUB SELECTION

It’s unusual for us to make the Crime Club selection from such a long-running series, but Coel’s Wind River Reservation novels deserve to be part of any serious collection, if they aren’t already. You don’t need to have read any of the earlier novels to enjoy this, the 12th entry in the series. A sacred petroglyph, the Drowning Man, disappears from a wall of Red Cliff Canyon. Within days, the Arapahos and Shoshones receive a ransom demand from the people who chiseled it away: for $250,000, they can have the image back. Meanwhile, Arapaho lawyer Vicky Holden prepares to defend a man accused of manslaughter after a similar glyph theft seven years earlier.
