The Spirit That Kills

By Ronald Levitsky

Native American leader Saul True Sky, who fought a highway cutting through the heart of sacred Lakota burial grounds, has been jailed for a savage murder. Now civil liberties lawyer Nate Rosen is flying in from Washington, D.C., to take on a case of homicide and prejudice.

Challenging this dedicated lawyer-sleuth’s nerve and know-how is a defendant too proud to beg for mercy. He’s also up against the temptations of the flesh: a beautiful widow, and an alluring journalist. But brutal shock, surprise, and mounting peril are waiting for Rosen as he digs for buried secrets in a world where the ghosts of the dead haunt the greed of the living…
