Summary
A serial killer follows Du Pré from Washington, DC, back to Montana
A lost and frightened horse plods down the National Mall, startling the crowd. When Gabriel Du Pré spots the confused animal, the connection is immediate, for neither of these creatures belongs in the sweltering heat of a DC summer. Du Pré, a Métis Indian from the wilds of Montana, calms the horse and leads it to the nearest policeman. Du Pré is in Washington to play his people’s music for a Smithsonian festival, but after leading the horse to safety, he encounters a murder instead.
The dead woman is Cree Indian, come down from Canada to sing in the festival. Du Pré tries to put her death out of his mind and returns to Montana, but more killings follow: each time with a primitive weapon, each time foretold by a local shaman. As the body count rises and the killer closes on Du Pré, the lawman vows to never again make the mistake of leaving Montana.

An intriguing voice
Du Pre is a very “different” character - fiddler, whiskey drinker, detective with no fondness for the “English”, computers, the 20th century but pride in French-Indian (Native American) culture. The spiritual/magical side of the novel works well. I am so glad to have discovered this author and series. The world of the Montana dry lands is so different and it was a joy to see it through Mr Bowen’s eyes.

Interesting characters
Loved the narration. Greatly enjoyed the female characters, intelligent, witty and down to earth. Some interesting comments regarding American culture.

Absorbing...
...and dangerously addictive. I am completely hooked on these characters, and the wonderful Montana / backwoods settings which Peter Bowen's magical prose brings alive so well. No quarrel with the reader either.

Excellent story and narration
Another great story in this series. Wonderful characters and atmosphere plus a puzzling murder mystery. I love the way the native Indian culture is integral to the story and never feels bolted on. Can’t wait to hear the next one.
