Description
Vanessa Lillie is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and the author of the bestselling suspense novels.
When a Native teenager vanishes from her small town—a place with dark ties to an elite historical society—archeologist Syd Walker is called to investigate.
In the hours before dawn at a local summer camp, archeologist for the Bureau of Indian Affairs Syd Walker gets an alarming call: skeletal remains have not only been discovered but stolen. What’s even more curious is that a local Native teen girl has disappeared without a trace and no one in law enforcement seems eager to solve her case.
As Syd digs for answers, she suspects the two disappearances are more connected than those around her let on. And her investigation will lead her down a rabbit hole of privileged campers and their wealthy parents, most of them members of an exclusive club—the Founders Society—a group claiming special connection to the land, although the local Narragansett tribal community insists otherwise. And it’s not the first time something or someone has gone missing around camp.
Everything links back to the Founders Society. But as the case twists and turns into a war of ideals, Syd must determine if the pursuit of justice will be worth the risk to avenge a bloody past.
