Black Gold, White Gold

After a middle-of-the night gangland-style murder of three young Indian men, Nancy Chavez, a reporter for the Albuquerque Journal agrees to take a leave from the newspaper and help the tribe solve the murders. Douglas Ford, a Harvard Law grad joins the team, and the two of them, at great risk to their lives, pursue the clues and uncover another related crime: oil theft from the Indian tribes being carried out on a regular basis by several oil companies. The cast of characters includes a charismatic Indian chief and his flamboyant wife, a much honored lawyer for his wins in Supreme Court cases on behalf of the tribes, and a scandalous love story involving the parentage of Douglas Fordl
