Surveillance
on an insurance fraud case in Bear Butte County unfolds
tragically for PI Julie Collins and her partner, Kevin Wells.
The reappearance of a mysterious hole—cause of the
fatal accident—brings about the landowner’s
unsettling confession; bones were recently uncovered on
that remote ridge. Fearing repercussions from their illegal
off-season hunting, the hunters reburied the remains and
kept quiet.
Now the hole is back, but the bones have vanished.
Were the bones
part of an ancient Indian burial ground? Connected to the
unsolved disappearance of a Native American woman?
The overworked, understaffed sheriff asks for Julie’s
help.
But the case opens
old wounds, and she finds herself at odds with the Standing
Elk family, discovering they withheld information
from her in the months before Ben’s death. And Julie’s
relationship with Tony Martinez hits a rough spot when she
agrees to go undercover in
his strip club.
On the wrong side
of tribal politics, family disputes, and employee rivalries,
Julie continues to dig for answers . .
. while the personal stakes climb. In a brutal fight for her
life, Julie finally comes face to face with her brother’s
killer . . . and realizes not all deceptions run deep.
