3.0

A mystery surrounds a set of bones found out in the hills on the reservation. The dead woman's identity takes a long time to discover and then Vicki and Father John try to figure out what happened to the woman and who the killer is. They are both in danger because one of the killers is still on the loose. The woman had been involved with AIM (American Indian Movement) back in the 1970s and it is thought that the murder had something to do with that.
The story goes back and forth between the past and present. Vicki also is dealing with things going on with her law practice and a possible lawsuit against a company because of discrimination against Indians. She also witnesses an assault on a young woman along with her son and daughter and some high priced lawyers are trying to get the assailant off and she is very adamant that that won't happen.
Story describes a lot about what was happening in the 1970 with the American Indian Movement and how some of the Indians didn't want to have anything to do with it and others were very involved.
