Smokerise is found murdered in his office at Central Highlands University, the task of solving the crime falls to jaded Choctaw detective Monique Blue Hawk and her partner Charles T. Clarke. A seemingly tolerant and amicable office of higher education, the university, Monique soon learns, harbors parties determined to destroy the careers of Tony and his best friend, the volatile Oglala anthropologist Roxanne Badger. In the course of her investigation, Monique discovers that the scholars who control Tonys department are also overseeing the excavation of a centuries-old tribal burial site that was uncovered during the construction of a freeway. Tony's role in the project, she realizes, might be the key to identifying his murderer. This virtuosic mystery novel explores, in engrossing detail, the complex motives for a killing within the sometimes furtive and hermetic setting of academia."--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Anthropologists $x Crimes against $v Fiction. 650 0 $a College teachers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Antiquities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women detectives $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 830 0 $a American Indian studies series (East Lansing, Mich.) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020012722.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825035611.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BD9BEE946A8A11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
