Indian Country: The Mike Taylor Mysteries, Book 2

De: Michael Darrow

Narrado por: James Huff

In the sequel to the Amazon Best Selling Novel, Indian Country: Incident at Big Pine, Deputy Sergeant Mike Taylor tackles the mystery of the disproportionate number of Missing & Murdered Native American Women and Children in America.

In Indian Country: Missing. Two young Lakota women, Anya Fast Runner and Veronica Likes Pretty Dresses, have gone missing, one reported missing on the reservation and the other in the county, Mike taking the report himself. Both cases are obviously related and both ladies were last seen with his old nemesis Raymond Angry Boy Whitecloud.

Once again, Mike works with his friends at the Lakota Tribal Police to solve the mystery while his fiancee educates him on the phenomenon of missing girls and the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Woman (MMIW) movement. Mike gains a new ally in Missing Persons Investigator Carol McBride, who takes one of the cases while Mike himself is swept deeper into the Lakota culture, spirituality and the traditionalist wing of tribal politics.

Author Michael Max Darrow uses current events in Native America and his experiences in both Law Enforcement and Lakota spirituality to weave an intricate tale of tribal politics, apathy, and death.

Strong Second Book in the Series

I enjoyed this second story in the Mike Taylor series as much as the first. Mike Taylor continues to make a place for himself as a respected county sheriff deputy in South Dakota and as a trusted white man on a large Lakota reservation where he and his fiance move to live. This book presents a mystery involving a missing (abducted) Lakota woman and a death of another due to drug overdose.

Excellent Book

This was an excellent book with a very unique plot. I’m excited to see what else the author has in store for the sheriff. Given the real issues, however he’s highlighting, it does break one heart to know these things are and have happened.
