Good must triumph, but sometimes there is a terrible cost.
Buffalo Hump (#5)
When Josh Pratt agrees to provide security for a charismatic Sioux blues musician at the opening of a new casino, he walks into no man’s land between two Okapachee Sioux biker gangs: the traditionalist Red Shirts who want nothing to do with the white man’s ways, and the modernist Blue Shirts who see the casino as a boon.
The Red Shirts aren’t the only ones gunning for Hump. Josh has his hands full dealing not only with the assassins, but the byzantine politics of South Dakota gambling.
