Thriller vibes centered around an Indian reservation in South Dakota with the Lakota people. I didn’t realize that Sioux was considered an insult and the deep rooted history was soaked into my brain the more I learned. Virgil, our MC, and his nephew finds themselves working with the Feds when heroin becomes a dire problem in the reservation. Lots of back and forth to find out the cause of who is harming the young people. David has a second book being published in 2023 so I’m ready for that one. This could have used a little less dialogue and more action but if you are looking for an entry level thriller, this is for you.
