Teeming with helicopters, brutish thugs and tomahawk-waving Indians, this over-the-top thriller
takes readers on a gripping, and rather gruesome, journey through the Northwoods of Michigan
and Wisconsin. When Spirit Lake reservation tribal leader Senator Eddie "Little Turtle" Adcock
turns up dead, rumors surface that the revered deceased may have stolen Indian artifacts. Officials
from the Weyland Foundation, an organization dedicated to making the world a better place,
believe the accusations are bunk, so they dispatch agent Link Anderson, a half-Blackfoot Indian
who's appeared in Wilson's previous novels (Black Wolf, etc.). Soon after Link arrives at Spirit
Lake, he learns of the Chicago crooks who have overrun the reservation and who terrorize the local
people, and he realizes that the only way to clear Eddie's name is to bring down the mob. Tribal
council member Jenifer Toussaint joins him in his quest and, eventually, a band of Manido-Ojibwe
warriors makes a stand as well. Though the narrative abounds with bullet-zinging action and narrow
escapes, its many graphic, stomach-turning scenes may put off even those accustomed to violent
novels. Still, Wilson writes with authority, and his theme of Native-American exploitation echoes
throughout.
Wilson joins the top ranks of military novelists.

When a respected U.S. Senator is found dead-killed by his own people, the Manido-Ojibwe
tribe-a treaty prevents the FBI from investigating the crime. Enter Native American covert operative
Link Anderson, who is determined to find the killer. But the facts surrounding the senator's grisly
fate lead Link down a trail of deception and murder-where one ruthless man is prepared to destroy
anyone who stands in his way.
