WINNER OF THE ANTHONY, BARRY, THRILLER, LEFTY AND MACAVITY AWARDS
FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL 'Harrowing and heartfelt, assured and highly
accomplished. One of the standout thrillers of the year' CHRIS
WHITAKER If you have a problem, if no one else can help, there's
one person you can turn to. Virgil Wounded Horse is the local
enforcer on the Rosebud Native American Reservation in South
Dakota. When justice is denied by the American legal system or the
tribal council, Virgil is hired to deliver his own punishment, the
kind that's hard to forget. But when heroin makes its way onto the
reservation and finds Virgil's nephew, his vigilantism becomes
personal. Enlisting the help of his ex-girlfriend, he sets out to
learn where the drugs are coming from, and how to make them stop.
Following a lead to Denver, they find that drug cartels are rapidly
expanding and forming new and terrifying alliances. And back on the
reservation, a new tribal council initiative raises uncomfortable
questions about money and power. As Virgil starts to link the
pieces together, he must face his own demons and reclaim his Native
identity - but being a Native American in the twenty-first century
comes at an incredible cost. Winter Counts is a tour-de-force of
crime fiction, a bracingly honest look at a long-ignored part of
American life, and a twisting, turning story that's as deeply
rendered as it is thrilling. 'An incredible novel . . . where hope
and heartbreak are found in equal measure' S. A. COSBY 'A terrific
debut - tight and tense, hard-eyed and big-hearted' LOU BERNEY
'Eye-opening, enlightening and entertaining, it's one hell of a
good read!' AMER ANWAR 'Enthralling from the first page to the
last, this is a heartfelt and harrowing tour de force' JON COATES,
S MAGAZINE 'Virtuoso fare' FINANCIAL TIMES, BEST CRIME BOOKS OF THE
YEAR 'A fascinating insight into an often overlooked world, and
draws the reader into a satisfying mystery' GUARDIAN, CRIME AND
THRILLER PICKS OF THE YEAR

Since 2016, French documentary photographer Zen Lefort has gone on
road trips from Arizona to New Mexico, crossed Utah, Colorado, and
South Dakota. Living with and documenting the life of Native
Americans, he witnessed the largest gathering in Native American
history: the Standing Rock protests against a Dakota pipeline
project-a demonstration of resistance in both a defence of
Indigenous sovereignty and cultural preservation. His series Indian
Land is a sensitive and honest engagement with the lives of North
America's indigenous peoples today. Members of the Navajo and
Lakota tribes relate their story to Lefort, and paint a picture of
indigenous life in the reservation, their persisting rituals, and
their contemporary culture. Thus, the volume draws a portrait that
bears traces of a violent history and tells of political struggles
by unequal means.
