Within the latest installment of Peter Bowen's acclaimed mystery series, Gabriel Du Pré investigates a century-old criminal offense. Lieutenant John Patchen has come to Montana to persuade Chappie Plaquemines, his ex - gunnery sergeant in Iraq and the son of Gabriel Du Pré's partner, to simply accept the Navy Mix. First, however, Du Pré and Patchen must find the wounded sea, who was previous seen drinking intensely in the Toussaint Saloon. They discover him quickly enough, disheveled and stinking of stale booze, but a sobering stop by at a medication man's sweat lodge unveils a much better mystery: the unsolved case of a strap of Métis who were previous seen fleeing from General Black Jack Pershing's soldiers in 1910, before disappearing. Strange voices within the sweat lodge speak of a location called Bitter Creek, where the Métis encountered their destiny. To think it is Du Pré monitors down the only living survivor of the massacre, a feisty old female whose memories may not be as reliable as they seem. But when Amalie leads Du Pré to Pardoe, an out-of-the-way crossroads north of Helena, he senses that they are about to discover long-buried secrets. Discouraged by the united states navy, and their lives threatened by local people whose ancestors may have performed a job in the murders, Chappie, Patchen, and Du Pré bravely go after the truth so the victims of a terrible injustice might finally relax in peace.
