Author Marcie Rendon (White Earth Nation) continues to put her favorite Ojibwe protagonist, Cash Blackbear, into a nail biting search for another murderer in Broken Fields. It's the fourth in Rendon's Cash Blackbear series about a tough independent young woman who loves working the land of the Red River Valley as a farm hand and has a special intuition for solving crime. There's more than the usual slots and tables at the ocean-themed Hidden Atlantis Casino on the fictional Languille Lake Reservation. Something dark has the power over casino patrons and only Marion Lafournier and his cousins know what's up. Passing Through a Prairie Country by Dennis E. Staples (Red Lake Nation) takes readers through dimensions that Marion must navigate to save the souls of his people.

There's an old Indian saying.And I'm an Indian woman who's worked at an Indian casino as a waitress for almost ten years. My first and only job, right after I turned eighteen. I've flirted with old Indian men to get tips and I've put on my most tactful, phone operator voice with old Indian women. The old men couldn't resist hitting on me or smacking my ass and the old women called me a slut for it. So I don't give a fuck what old Indians have to say. | Copyright 2019 by Dennis E. Staples.
