FBI agent Manny Tanno
is taking some much needed R&R at the site of the Battle of Little Big Horn.
But when a death on the reservation cuts his vacation short, he learns that the
secrets of the past have a way of stirring up trouble in the present.

As a scout for the infamous General Custer, Crow tribe member Levi Star
Dancer kept a journal chronicling his exploits from the Battle of the Greasy
Grass onwards. Now, the missing journal has been found and the descendents of
those mentioned in the account, including Levi’s own, want to keep their family
secrets hidden at all costs…

Manny’s trip to the Crow Agency Reservation turns out to be ill-timed
when a reenactor of the Battle of Little Big Horn is killed right in front of
him. It turns out the victim was the one who found Levi Star Dancer’s famed diary
and was planning on selling it to the highest bidder. And while the dead body
is hard to miss, the coveted book is nowhere to be found. Now, Manny has to
watch his back while searching for a murderer and the missing journal, because
this slippery killer will do anything to make sure the past stays buried.
