No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
When ex-police-detective Lee Carter is arrested at the scene of a crime with the murder weapon in his hand, Detective Sergeant Locklear knows the odds are stacked against proving his friend innocent. Suspended from duty with Richmond PD, Native American Locklear knows his only hope of saving Lee is to follow leads which take him to the place of his own birth, the Badlands of South Dakota.
With shrewd officer Josefina Mendoza by his side, he finds himself caught between a merciless organisation responsible for the theft of priceless indigenous artefacts and an equally ruthless secret society trying to stop them.
When the trail brings Locklear into conflict with old friends and even older enemies, he and Mendoza uncover a conspiracy involving university academics, international diplomats, the US army and the inhabitants of an impoverished Native American reservation.
Caught in a bloody conflict in which there are no rules, the line between right and wrong becomes blurred. Locklear is forced to choose, but can he choose in time to save his friend?
