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 Pre 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 Pre
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 Pre 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 Pre series, but you may enjoy reading the
series in any order.
