    About this ebook

    When state marshal Tom Riggins discovers the body of a young American Indian girl in a remote high-country cabin at Glacier Lake, the clues are few, but sufficient. Tom is led to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and a white man who describes himself as a "wannabe" Indian. One of the issues there is that of a prior record, the use of alcohol, drugs and even prostitution. Further investigation produces a ring of 'trouble-makers' that appear to have some degree of involvement with the death of the American Indian girl, Christine Running Deer.
    When Tom runs into a 'wall', he uses his final plan, the enlistment of one of the assumed guilty men to work with him to entrap and eventually convict the ringleader, in turn for a lighter sentence. There are a number of turns and twists, but in the end, Tom Riggins secures the deserved justice for Christine Running Deer.

      With the temperature hovering around twenty-eight degrees below zero, the cracking ice on the high mountain lake makes an unearthly moaning and snapping that is enough to chill the blood and bring your stomach up to your throat.
