Bury My Heart At Redtree
by Patrick Chalfant
Taylor Hayes is a white college student who was adopted and raised by Native Americans
and educated in the best of both worlds. When his adopted parents, along with a number
of other Indians, die from an unknown poison at the Kickingbird development, Taylor and
his two friends, Elijah and Keith begin a quest looking for unknown assailants. They
are pretty sure they know what happened and who was involved, but the suspects are dying
off, one by one.
Now a number of Indians at the Redtree development have become ill, and the same type
of poison is suspected. The local police department is like a pup chasing its tail; there
are many clues in the execution style killings of local dignitaries, but they all lead
nowhere.
Chalfant's own pride in his Osage Indian heritage is obvious as he introduces the various
characters, including Chief Campanow as the spiritual guide for the three friends in
their quest for the truth and revenge. The Great Plains is a worthy setting for this
thought-provoking story that may make you wonder whose side you are on. The ending really
caught me by surprise. Chalfant's story is fresh and innovative with a many-layered plot
that is fast moving and exciting and nothing is as it seems. Yes, Chalfant did leave
subtle clues...catch them if you can. |
