"Peter Bowen does for Montana what Tony Hillerman does for New
Mexico" (Midwest Book Review). Gabriel Du Pre's aunt Pauline has
burned through more than her share of husbands, so it's no surprise
when she shows up in Toussaint complaining that the latest one,
Badger, has run off. Du Pre, the Metis Indian fiddler, retired
cattle inspector, and sometime deputy, agrees to go looking for her
man. He finds him shot, execution-style, in the wilds of the
Montana countryside. A chat with his contacts at the FBI reveals
that Badger, a small-time drug smuggler, had been working for them
since his last arrest. Pauline's husband was bait, but the big fish
got away. The last lead was to a cabal of wealthy gamblers who pass
their time racing horses in the barren Montana brush. To infiltrate
their tight-knit syndicate, Du Pre goes undercover, lining up his
own horse and jockey. He must tread lightly, because horses are not
the only things these men shoot. Gabriel Du Pre's foray into the
world of illegal horse racing is "as consistently entertaining as
its predecessors. [Du Pre], ever skeptical of the modern world and
its institutions, places his faith in people, the land, a
hand-rolled smoke, and the occasional ditch-water highball"
(Booklist). Stewball is the 12th book in The Montana Mysteries
Featuring Gabriel Du Pre series, but you may enjoy reading the
series in any order.
