New York Times bestselling author Margaret Coel returns to Wind River with Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and Father John O’Malley investigating a lethal link between legendary outlaw Butch Cassidy and a present-day murder…
When Robert Walking Bear’s body is found in the Wind River mountains, his death appears to be accidental—except for the fact that he had been hunting for Butch Cassidy’s buried loot with a map he had gotten from his grandfather, a map believed to have been drawn by the leader of the Hole in the Wall gang himself.
It isn’t long before rumors circulate that Robert was murdered by his own cousins to get the map and find the treasure themselves. Despite there being no evidence of foul play, the gossip gains credibility when both Vicky and Father John are contacted by an anonymous Arapaho claiming to have witnessed Robert’s killing.
When one of Robert’s cousins falls prey to another deadly accident, Vicky and Father John are convinced the victim is the witness who confided in them, and the hunt for the killer is on in earnest—before more die in search of Cassidy’s cache.

Great post and thanks for introducing me to a new writer and series. This sounds good and I have not read anything with this background in a long time.
Another new author for me too read.
I think the Butch Cassidy link will be interesting! Thanks for the info and chance to win!
I have seen this author’s books for a long time, but I’ve never picked one up. The blurb here makes me regret not trying one. Requested The Eagle Catcher from the library (I like to start with the first book in a series if I can.)
His own cousins, they’re dirty dogs. Love Margaret Coel.
Thanks for the introduction to Margaret Coel. She is a new one to me. I have added her and this book to my need to read list. robeader53@yahoo.com
What a tangled web. I like mysteries where the family is the suspects. LOL
