"…EXCELLENT JOB OF EXPLAINING THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE, AND THE MYSTERY OF THERESA'S DEATH KEPT ME GUESSING TO THE END."

MARYJEAN KEE, Stone Harbor Books

A knock on the door and Chris Brennan is informed by the police that his sister Theresa is dead.  The police at the scene find alcohol and an antidepressant drug, and suicide is suspected.  But why was she depressed?  Theresa was a successful court reporter working for a federal judge on a high profile case concerning an Arizona Native American tribe's plan to build a new casino – even though legislation in place seemed to prohibit any new casinos.  The high stakes casino venture has the ingredients of a fascinating tale of money and power: tribe versus tribe, Indian sovereignty versus states' rights, and even Congress versus the White House.  Chris travels to Phoenix to investigate Theresa's death, and as he unravels Theresa's secrets, he encounters the forces that influenced Theresa's life.  [313 pages]
