Prairie Spirits : A Lone Wolf Mystery
Connie Lone Wolf and her mother, Georgia, see a coffin that then disappears in the sanctuary of the haunted church during sewing class in the basement. That same night Connie and her brother Gerald, witness their friend Liz Moccasin killed by a hit and run driver. Lakota beliefs see the coffin as an omen that there will be a funeral--Liz's.
In adulthood, Connie learns more of her Lakota heritage and spiritual beliefs. Gerald becomes Deputy Sheriff and rejects the Lakota beliefs. He solves the murder of a heavy equipment salesman. But despite his careful investigation, all evidence disappears except a gold ring with a black stone.
Through a Lakota Medicine Man's message to Connie, she tells Gerald where the ring is. Gerald rejects the message.
In the end, it is neither Connie nor Gerald, but the Lakota Spirit of Liz that brings justice to the hit and run driver who killed her.

There is an easy feel to this story. Part mystery, part modern crime investigation. You are introduced to the remains of the Lakota tribe. Many have chosen to forget the old ways and suspicions but a few still keep the faith. A young Lakota girl is killed in a hit n run! This had been foretold by the vision of a coffin seen at the ladies sewing group. The culprit is not found. The years pass. The two young witnesses grow up. Connie honour’s her heritage but her brother Gerald rejects it and becomes a police officer. Can the spirit of the dead girl reach out, and will justice eventually be done?
