Death through Destiny's Door

by C M Wendelboe

Overview

Nearly a century and a half ago, Oglala Lakota leader Crazy Horse was tragically killed in custody and buried. His parents whisked away his remains to a location known only to them, safe from marauding trophy seekers and thieves. His grave has never been found.

Apparently, until now...

Lakota FBI Agent Manny Tanno is called to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation once again. He uncovers a conspiracy to take over a local rancher's business, and the next thing he knows, he's investigating deaths. Murders. Somehow all connected to finding the long-gone body of the sacred Lakota leader.

As Manny closes in on the killer, the killer closes in on the final burial place of Crazy Horse.

The race is on, for whose destiny will it be-the killer's, or Manny's-or both-to succumb to the very soil that enshrouded the sacred leader, Crazy Horse, for so many generations?

About the Author

C. M. Wendelboe entered the law enforcement profession when he was discharged from the Marines as the Vietnam war was winding down. In the 1970s, his career included assisting federal and tribal law enforcement agencies embroiled in conflicts with American Indian Movement activists in South Dakota. He moved to Gillette, Wyoming, and found his niche, where he remained a sheriff's deputy for more than twenty-five years. During his thirty-eight-year career in law enforcement he had served successful stints as police chief, policy adviser, and other supervisory roles for several agencies. Yet he always has felt most proud of "working the street." He was a patrol supervisor when he retired to pursue his true vocation as a fiction writer. Wendelboe is a prolific author of murder mysteries with a Western flair, as well as traditional Westerns. He writes the Spirit Road Mysteries, the Bitter Wind Mystery series, the Nelson Lane Frontier Mysteries, and the Tucker Ashley Western Adventure series.
