“[T]he snowballing pace will keep the reader turning the pages until the unexpected finish.”—Publishers Weekly
When paleoartist Ansel Phoenix finds a burnt body hanging from the mouth of her life-sized Allosaurus replica outside the Big Toe Natural History Museum, she starts digging. An Indian poacher has been cutting out fossil carnosaur tracks along the Redwater River, and the Bureau of Land Management is threatening to close the museum and move the tracks to an educational institution. And the FBI is freezing out the local cops.
Using her half-Blackfoot heritage as leverage, Ansel devises a dangerous scheme to help the FBI expose a statewide fossil-poaching ring. But she didn't count on starting a new romance, stumbling over a heinous BLM land-grabbing plot, or being stalked by a deadly nemesis from her childhood.
