Blood Memory
Margaret Coel
A new novel from the "master" (Tony Hillerman) of
the Wind River mysteries.
Someone is trying to kill Catherine McLeod.
Catherine is an investigative reporter for a major Denver
newspaper. At first she thinks someone wants her dead
because of what she must have written for the paper. But
soon she realizes that she has been targeted for death
because of what she might write in the future. She has no
idea of what that might be.
As an assassin closes in, Catherine finds herself in a race
for her life to uncover the story that someone is determined
to keep hidden. Soon she realizes the story revolves around
a massacre of Arapaho and Cheyenne Indians in 1864—the
Sand Creek Massacre—and the efforts of the tribes to
build a 300 million dollar casino on the plains close to
Denver. But behind the headlines, Catherine comes to
understand, is the real story of what happened in the past,
a story buried for one hundred and fifty years.
And behind the facts of that story is someone who wants her
dead.
The race to uncover the truth takes Catherine through the
streets and neighborhoods of Denver to the power centers of
Washington, D.C. Desperate to stay one step ahead of the
assassin stalking her, Catherine sheds her old identity and
everything familiar in her life, gradually becoming someone
else. Along the way, she must come to terms with her own
past and the Arapaho blood that she had never acknowledged.
But only by facing the past can she write a story never
before told and, ultimately, save her own life.
