Synopsis

In the wake of Fourth of July fireworks in Montana's Madison Valley, Hyalite County sheriff Martha Ettinger and Deputy Sheriff Harold Little Feather investigate a horrific scene at the Palisades cliffs, where a herd of bison have fallen to their deaths. Victims of blind panic caused by the pyrotechnics, or a ritualistic hunting practice dating back thousands of years? The person who would know is beyond asking, an Indian man found dead among the bison, his leg pierced by an arrow. Farther up the valley, fly fisherman, painter, and sometime private detective Sean Stranahan has been hired by the beautiful Ida Evening Star, a Chippewa Cree woman who moonlights as a mermaid at the Trout Tails Bar & Grill, to find her old flame, John Running Boy. The cases seem unrelated-until Sean's search leads him right to the brink of the buffalo jump. With unforgettable characters and written with his signature grace and wry humor, Buffalo Jump Blues weaves a gripping tale of murder, wildlife politics, and lost love.

Have read several in this series. This book kept me more interested in the background story than the murder. Regarding what is happening to the buffalo and other wildlife now just eats at me. Don't understand why buffalo are so threatening (the book states it's because of an invalid assumption that......more

Goodreads review by Dale on January 14, 2017

All good mystery novels contain the elements necessary to keep me following along, trying to solve the riddle, yet keeping me guessing until near the end. A successful series will take me places I want to be, filling me with the sights, sounds and smells of those locations in such a way that I feel......more
