"Bitter Creek is likely the top of the Du Pre series . . . Lively
and absolutely fascinating" (Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the
Fall). Lt. John Patchen has come to Montana to persuade Chappie
Plaquemines, his former gunnery sergeant in Iraq, to accept the
Navy Cross. First, however, Patchen must find the wounded marine,
who was last seen drinking heavily in the Toussaint Saloon. With
the help of Gabriel Du Pre, who's romantically involved with
Chappie's mother, he locates him soon enough, disheveled and
stinking of stale booze. But a sobering visit to a medicine man's
sweat lodge reveals a much greater mystery: The unsolved case of a
band of Metis Indians who were last seen fleeing from Gen. Black
Jack Pershing's troops in 1910, before disappearing. Strange voices
within the sweat lodge speak of a place called Bitter Creek, where
the Metis encountered their fate. To find it, Du Pre tracks down
the only living survivor of the massacre, a feisty old woman whose
memories may not be as trustworthy as they seem. But when Amalie
leads Du Pre to Pardoe, an out-of-the-way crossroads north of
Helena, he senses they're about to uncover long-buried secrets.
Discouraged by the US military with their lives threatened by
locals whose ancestors may have played a role in the murders,
Chappie, Patchen, and Du Pre bravely pursue the truth so the
victims of a terrible injustice might finally rest in peace. Bitter
Creek is the 14th book in The Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel
Du Pre series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
