Synopsis

Badly wounded and estranged from his partner and love interest, Anna Turnipseed, Emmett Parker has come home. After thirteen years of federal law enforcement assignments that took him to every Indian nation but his own, the veteran investigator for the Bureau of Indian Affairs has finally arrived in Oklahoma on convalescent leave. At once a son of the Nuhmuhnuh (the People, as the Comanche call themselves) and a government investigator, he has ties to both sidesand is about to discover which side pulls harder. On the reservation, Emmett finds an intricate web of familial and tribal dutiesand what could become a massive class action suit. Indian plaintiffs are suing the BIA for oil well funds they never received. Drawn into the controversy, Emmett is accused of murder by an investigator of his own blood, and now, the man who used to be the law is running from it.

Not sure why this was presented as a Parker & Turnipseed book as Turnipseed wasn't in it. This book focused on Emmett Parker. He was being framed for the murder of a fellow tribal member and is chased all over the west by some FBI agents who are intent on pinning the crime on him. Several others are......more
