This debut mystery from a fresh voice in Southwestern fiction stakes out the common ground between Tony Hillerman, Elmore Leonard, and Cormac McCarthy.
Synopsis:
In a remote corner of the Chickasaw Nation, tribal Lighthorse policeman Bill Maytubby and county deputy Hannah Bond discover the buzzard-ravaged body of Majesty Tate, a young drifter with a blank past. They comb Oklahoma’s rock prairie, river bottoms, and hard-bitten small towns for traces of her last days.
Tate was seen dancing with Austin Love, a violent local meth dealer fresh out of prison. An Oklahoma City motel clerk connects her with an aspiring politician. An oil-patch roustabout and a shady itinerant preacher provide dubious leads. Ne’er-do-wells start dying off.
A fluke lead propels Maytubby deep into Louisiana’s bayou country, where a Cajun shrimper puts him on the scent of a bizarre conspiracy. He and Bond reunite in the Chickasaw Nation for the eventual face-off at Nail’s Crossing.
Review:,
This was an interesting read, and I finished it in 2 sittings! I am very much looking forward to book 2 in Lackey's new series. There is a wonderful working relationship between Maytubby and Bond. Having a Chickasaw lead was a wonderful device, and it really allowed Lackey to bring in different cultural aspects, into a vlaid mystery. Maytubby is determined and Bond trusts his intuition. Between them, they'll find the clues needed to solve the puzzle.
