Descriere magazin:
A Montana deputy takes on a mining company that\'s poisoning reservation children in a novel the Washington Post calls "wonderful [and] wise." Something is rotten in the Fort Belknap Reservation. Life has always been tough on this barren stretch just south of the Canadian border, but now the children are getting sick. While playing his fiddle in a reservation bar, part-time deputy Gabriel Du Pré meets an accordionist who suspects the children\'s health defects and low test scores are connected to pollution from the nearby Persephone gold mine. Meanwhile, Du Pré investigates the disappearance of one of the afflicted children. When the boy turns up dead, the accordionist\'s theory gains credence. It wouldn\'t be the first time the rich men of Montana found wealth at the expense of the reservation\'s kids. But is there something more than greed and indifference at work? Something even more sinister? Du Pré will make it his business to find out. "In other hands, melodrama could easily rear its head and trample the scenery, but Bowen has a firm grip on his large cast of interesting players . . . [in this] tale of grace vs. greed" ( Publishers Weekly ). The Stick Game is the 7th book in The Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel Du Pré series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. About author(s): Peter Bowen (b. 1945) is best known for his mystery novels set in the modern American West. When he was ten, Bowen\'s family moved to Bozeman, Montana, where a paper route introduced him to the grizzled old cowboys who frequented a bar called The Oaks. Listening to their stories, some of which stretched back to the 1870s, Bowen found inspiration for his later fiction. Following time at the University of Michigan and the University of Montana, he published his first novel, Yellowstone Kelly , in 1987. After two more novels featuring the real-life western hero, Bowen published Coyote Wind (1994), which introduced Gabriel Du Pré, a mixed-race lawman living in fictional Toussaint, Montana. He has written fifteen novels in the series, in which Du Pré gets tangled up in everything from cold-blooded murder to the hunt for rare fossils. Bowen continues to live and write in Livingston, Montana.
