Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbli Weiden
1.0

"Virgil Wounded Horse is the local enforcer on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. When justice is denied by the American legal system or the tribal council, Virgil is hired to deliver his own punishment, the kind that’s hard to forget. But when heroin makes its way into the reservation and finds Virgil’s nephew, his vigilantism suddenly becomes personal. He enlists the help of his ex-girlfriend and sets out to learn where the drugs are coming from, and how to make them stop."

Sounds like a great plot line and I was looking forward to something a little different in my mystery/thriller reading. Despite all the positive reviews of Winter Counts, after reading near to a quarter of this novel, I returned it to my library. The story plodded along, can't say as I had any attachment to the protagonist, and I lost interest. Found the novel dull.
