About the Catherine McLeod series

Margaret Coel's shorter Catherine McLeod series moves away from the Wind River Reservation setting of her best-known books to follow Catherine McLeod, a television news reporter in Denver, Colorado, investigating crimes that intersect with her own reporting. Across its two novels, the series pairs a contemporary newsroom setting with the same close attention to place and procedure that characterizes Coel's Wind River books, while giving her a protagonist and city setting distinct from Vicky Holden and the reservation.
