Death on the Greasy Grass

Beschreibung

FBI agent Manny Tanno is taking some much needed R and R at the site of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. But when a death on the reservation cuts his vacation short, he learns that the secrets of the past have a way of stirring up trouble in the present... As a scout for the legendary General Custer, Crow tribe member Levi Star Dancer kept a journal chronicling his exploits from the Battle of the Greasy Grass onward. Now, the missing journal has been found and the descendants of those mentioned in the account-including Levi's own-want to keep their family secrets hidden at all costs. Manny's trip to the Crow Agency Reservation turns out to be ill-timed when a reenactor of the Battle of the Little Big Horn is killed right in front of him. It turns out the victim was the one who found Levi Star Dancer's famed diary and was planning on selling it to the highest bidder. And while the dead body is hard to miss, the journal is nowhere to be found. Manny has to watch his back while searching for a murderer and the missing journal-because this slippery killer will do anything to make sure the past stays buried.

Autor

C. M. Wendelboe entered the law enforcement profession when he was discharged from the Marines as the Vietnam War was winding down. In the 1970s, his career included assisting federal and tribal law enforcement agencies embroiled in conflicts with American Indian Movement activists in South Dakota. He moved to Gillette, Wyoming, and found his niche, where he remained a sheriff's deputy for more than twenty-five years. During his thirty-eight-year career in law enforcement, he had served successful stints as police chief, policy adviser, and other supervisory roles for several agencies. Yet he always has felt most proud of "working the street." He was a patrol supervisor when he retired to pursue his true vocation as a fiction writer. Wendelboe is a prolific author of murder mysteries with a Western flair, as well as traditional Westerns. He writes the Spirit Road Mysteries, the Bitter Wind Mystery series, the Nelson Lane Frontier Mysteries, and the Tucker Ashley Western Adventure series.
