The Eagle Catcher

Description for THE EAGLE CATCHER by Margaret Coel:

On the windswept plains of Wyoming's Wind River Reservation, Arapahos have gathered for the Ethete powwow. It is a sacred time to reaffirm the balance and harmony in life. But these feelings of unity quickly give way to fear when tribal chairman Harvey Castle is found murdered in his tipi--and the evidence points to his own nephew's guilt.

Father John O'Malley, head pastor of the nearby St. Francis Mission, does not believe the young man is a killer. In his quest for the truth, O'Malley gets a rare glimpse into the Arapaho life few outsiders ever see--and into a crime fewer could imagine...

This is #1 in A Wind River Mystery.
