The Red Power Murders

Thumps DreadfulWater has never liked surprises - even the good ones are annoying. So it's no shock that a string of seemingly random occurrences is causing Thumps some real discomfort. First Noah Ridge, the Red Power Native activist, arrives in Thumps' sleepy town of Chinook. Then the body of a retired FBI agent turns up at the local Holiday Inn. In the background hovers the ghostly presence of Lucy Kettle, second in charge of the Red Power movement, a tough woman in a tough place until her disappearance years ago. Now Thumps is dragged out of his darkroom and into the middle of the mystery that begins in Chinook but travels back in time to a robbery and killing in Denver and Salt Lake City. And while the answers to the mystery may lie in the past, the danger lies in the present. Someone is trying to kill Noah, and Thumps not only has to figure out who the killer is but why. In the meantime, people are turning up dead, and the closer Thumps gets to the answer, the closer he gets to becoming the next victim.
