About this book
The Eagle Catcher (1995) opens the Wind River Mysteries on the reservation itself, introducing Arapaho lawyer Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley, the Jesuit priest at St. Francis Mission, whose investigative partnership -- shadowed by his vows and her own past -- would run through nineteen more books. Margaret Coel, a historian of the American West, grounds the case in the reservation's land and political life rather than a generic whodunit setup. It runs 186 pages.
