Dead Soul

When Charlie Moon is asked to look into the murder of a fellow tribe member, Billy Smoke, he doesn't expect to find anything. After all, Billy's boss, Senator Patch Davidson, nearly died that night, too, and the FBI investigation remains un-solved. But the senator happens to be Charlie's neighbor-their ranches share a fenceline-so maybe the senator will be more forthcoming with him than he was with the FBI. Meanwhile, Charlie's Aunt Daisy, an elderly tribal shaman whose visions are looked upon by Charlie with skepticism-even when they ring true-has seen a woman desperate for Charlie's help. Mysteriously, her description matches that of a local college student who disappeared months ago. Combining tight, suspenseful plotting with lyrical, authentic renderings of Native American themes, Dead Soul is James Doss at his finest.Doss, James D. is the author of 'Dead Soul', published 2003 under ISBN 9780312317447 and ISBN 0312317441.
