It falls to university professor Dr. Gavin Lone Wolf to protect and preserve his family's surprising legacy and to solve a murder on South Dakota's Smokey River Indian Reservation. Set within the framework of the historical Battle of the Little Bighorn (which some might know as Custer's Last Stand), a well-kept secret about the battle is revealed after Gavin's grandmother's death sets in motion a frenzied search for a historical artifact from the battle at the same time a murder investigation is underway to find out who killed a student at Gavin's university. In the process of investigating the murder and a long-lost eyewitness account of the Battle of the Little Bighorn from the perspective of a Native participant, we meet Gavin Lone Wolf's family and other characters who appear in the Smokey River Suspense Series. Gavin's twin brother has his own security company in Washington DC; his Uncle Andrew is a medicine man whose wisdom and worldly experience guides Gavin's choices. We meet the dedicated chief and lieutenant of the Smokey River Tribal Police, several surprising villains, and a beautiful Native woman to whom Gavin was engaged who may or may not be back in the picture.
