Description

In this novel Molly Bearpaw investigates the murder of a woman who tried to communicate with the soul of a dead Cherokee. But before she can declare the case closed, she must face some difficult truths about her own family.
Of all the many children of Tony Hillerman--Native American investigators walking in the sizeable moccasin-steps of his Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee--Jean Hager's Molly Bearpaw is certainly one of the most interesting and believable. As major crimes investigator for the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, Molly has a one-room office in the lovely university town of Tahlequah in the Ozark foothills, a gun that she keeps locked in the glove compartment of her car, and a part-time assistant, a law student named Natalie Wind. It's Natalie's eccentric aunt, Talia Wind, who gets Molly's latest case started, when the former New Age disciple turned Cherokee medicine woman is found murdered in a haunted jailhouse. It wouldn't be a modern mystery if Molly didn't have a rich personal life, and in this one she's troubled by past and present relationships. Other Bearpaw stories in paperback are Ravenmocker, The Redbird's Cry, and Seven Black Stones.

Description

The Apportioner sees what's going on over there and she don't like it. When she gets mad enough, she'll send a punishment, like she did in the old days. Lot of people are going to die. The words were spoken by Zebediah Smoke, whose ramshackle property bordered the Cherokee Nation's new, half-completed bingo hall. Zeb's listeners, his great-nephew and a retired professor who had come to record the old man's stories for posterity, could dismiss his rantings as an old man's melodrama. But in a matter of days Zeb's words seemed to come true. The first victim was found in his garage, dead of carbon monoxide poisoning. While the sheriff wanted to rule it a suicide and close the case, Molly Bearpaw, whose own life had been darkened by suicide, was sure that this was not. So was the teenage daughter of the dead man. And besides, there was the matter of the seven small black stones left in a circle on the seat of Ed Whitekiller's pick-up truck. Whitekiller had been chronically unemployed and perpetual womanizer. While Molly was suspicious of his angry wife, and his latest lover's angry husband, she couldn't shake the feeling that this was something other than a crime of passion. And when another dead man was found within shooting distance of Zebediah Smoke's shack, she knew that seven black stones would be found there, too. Now, she only had to find out why... Jean Hager's most masterful work yet, Seven Black Stones captures the confluences of the traditional and the modern forces in contemporary Cherokee life. With its powerful sense of time and place and rich characterizations, this mystery delves into the issues between men and women, lovers and family, that are common to us all, and thatforce Molly Bearpaw to find not only a killer, but the truths of her own life.

Description

The vicious murder of a wildlife officer shakes up an Oklahoma town in the fifth novel in this captivating Cherokee Nation mystery series, featuring Police Chief Mitch Bushyhead.
If Tony Hillerman first opened the door for Native American mysteries, Jean Hager is now holding it wide in grand style. Her Molly Bearpaw books(The Spirit Caller came out in 1997) are full of energy and controlled anger, and her series about Mitch Bushyhead, police chief of Buckskin, Oklahoma, presents deliberately cool-headed looks at volatile issues. In Masked Dancers, Chief Bushyhead, a recent widower and concerned parent of a teenaged daughter, continues learning about his own Cherokee heritage as he looks into the possibly linked deaths of a game warden and a high school principal. The warden was investigating the illegal slaughter of bald eagles, whose protected feathers are featured in the tribal dances staged by the educator. The most likely candidate for the killings is a racist fanatic, but the principal's wife also has some odd moves to explain. Other Bushyhead books in paperback include Fire Carrier and The Grandfather Medicine. --Dick Adler
