Publisher's summary

Badly wounded and estranged from his partner and love interest, Anna Turnipseed, Emmett Parker has come home. After 13 years of federal law enforcement assignments that took him to every Indian nation but his own, the veteran investigator for the Bureau of Indian Affairs has finally arrived in Oklahoma on convalescent leave. At once a son of the Nuhmuhnuh ("the People," as the Comanche call themselves) and a government investigator, he has ties to both sides - and is about to discover which side pulls harder.

On the reservation, Emmett finds an intricate web of familial and tribal duties - and what could become a massive class action suit. Indian plaintiffs are suing the BIA for oil well funds they never received. Drawn into the controversy, Emmett is accused of murder by an investigator of his own blood, and now, the man who used to be the law is running from it.

"A complex story of honor and brotherhood...an excellent book, full of twists." (Roundtable Reviews)
"A fine, action-packed thriller." (Midwest Book Review)

Thank you Stefan Rudnicki

I'm so glad you narrated this book. The previous book was a tough listen without your voice. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the actual story as much as the previous books, but grateful you did reading.

Enjoyed!

Really wish there were more books by this author in audible. Very much enjoyed listening to this series.

alright

struggled to finished. skipped chapter 23 through 27. kinda boring. wished I'd quit reading before I did.

would like more

very good to hear Stefan back narrating. wish there were more Parker and Turnipseed

convoluted ending

I have loved this series. except when they changed narrators. you would think they would stay consistent. Dick Hill in book 4 should have listened to the other books and tried to keep his voice similar. made Emmett sound whiney overly southern..... didn't fit him after the great narration previous narrator did.
I was sad that Anna didn't come back to stand by Emmett side in the end of 5. end of 4 she has a quicky with Emmett but he thinks it's the nurse, you c reader know it was Anna from the hummingbird but did Emmett!?
Book 5 was a good story of Indian history but a disappointment to have Emmett go through so much in 4 and then more in 5 and in the end you don't know if he will lose his job, go to jail, die or what?
is just ended with that indian story at the end. there was no real closure. for this to be the last of the series I'm pretty bummed there wasn't a happy ending.

Riveting

This book delivered , even though it veered from the other Emmet Parker/Anna Turnipseed books. The disappointment of Anna not being a part of this book, quickly dissipated as new characters and places were revealed along with action, mystery and a fast pace!🤩

Overall great book

loved it, great story ,great narrator, Hooked on the Characters, Can't wait to start on the next story !

Really got involved.

Much of the territory included in this story are old stomping grounds. I am fascinated at the historical relationship between the Native American tribes and peoples. Enjoyed the stories and traditions and legacies that were shared in the story. Very much appreciated the reader, his accents and the way that he presents the material.

Thunder dogs, is this the end?

Thunder Dogs was a good book. I gave the story four stars because the author waited until the story was half way through before the character Eli Cusetta was introduced. But then it was his story to tell. Kirk Mitchell is a good storyteller and I enjoy his books.

Great book!

Best book yet! Wish there were more! Better without Turnip seed!
Stefan Rudnicki was awesome too!
