When Cherokee burial remains are unearthed on the site expanding a
local cemetery, the dual occupations of Barry Clayton, part-time
deputy and fulltime undertaker, collide. Then, during the interment
of the wife of one of Gainesboro, North Carolina's most prominent
citizens, Cherokee activist Jimmy Panther leads a protest. Words
and fists fly. When Panther turns up executed on the grave of the
deceased woman, Barry is forced to confront her family as the chief
suspects. But the case lurches in a new direction with the arrival
of Sheriff Tommy Lee Wadkin's army pal, Boston cop Kevin Malone.
He's on the trail of a Boston hit man who arrived at the Cherokee
reservation only days before the murder. Malone is convinced his
quarry is the triggerman. But who paid him? And why? The
accelerating investigation draws Barry onto the reservation where
Panther's efforts to preserve Cherokee traditions threatened the
development of a new casino, a casino bringing millions of dollars
of construction plus huge yearly payouts to every member of the
tribe. Leading an unlikely team --his childhood nemesis Archie
Donovan and his elderly fellow undertaker Uncle Wayne --Barry goes
undercover. But the stakes are higher than he realized in this
risky undertaking. And the life of a Cherokee boy becomes the
wager. Barry must play his cards very carefully ."
