Thunderbird: A Ben Pecos Mystery

Susan Slater. Intrigue Press, $23.95 (280pp) ISBN 978-1-890768-41-6

When Indian tribal police and air force officials clash over who should investigate the crash of a Stealth fighter plane on reservation land, Tommy Spottedhorse joins forces with friend Ben Pecos (hero of The Pumpkin Seed Massacre) to sniff out clues about the disappearance of a young woman (on whom Tommy had a crush) near the wreckage. Spanning everything from identity politics to theories about aliens, Susan Slater's Thunderbird is a witty, absorbing tale.
