Then Judith Calf Looking, a local Blackfeet girl missing for several months, turns up dead in a snowbank with a mysterious brand on her forearm. The sheriff - whose romantic relationship with Lola provides Magpie with its most delicious gossip in years - thinks Judith probably froze to death while hitch-hiking back to the reservation from wherever she'd been. But Lola hears rumors that Judith had been working as an exotic dancer in the North Dakota oil fields, and further discovers that several Blackfeet girls, all known drug users, have gone missing over the past year. She heads out to the oil patch to check things out, only to find herself in a place where men outnumber women a hundred to one, the law looks the other way, and life - especially her own - is cheap. Dakota shows the frightening underside of a boom-and-bust economy; of the effect on a small town when big-city money washes in, accompanied by hordes of men far from their families; of what happens when the old rules no longer apply, but the new ones are yet to be determined. 650 0 $a Women journalists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Drug traffic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sihasapa Indians $z North Dakota $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indian women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $x Crimes against $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a City and town life $v Fiction. 941 $a 8 952 $l AWPD207 $d 20230209015202.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722053932.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006074821.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180719023744.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20180223033319.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20151203020724.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926024232.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20150227034109.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1BCBE9FEBA2C11E39D81AEA4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
