WINNER OF THE ANTHONY, BARRY, THRILLER, LEFTY AND MACAVITY AWARDS FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL

‘Harrowing and heartfelt, assured and highly accomplished. One of the standout thrillers of the year' CHRIS WHITAKER

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, there’s one person you can turn to.

Virgil Wounded Horse is the local enforcer on the Rosebud Native American Reservation in South Dakota. When justice is denied by the American legal system or the tribal council, Virgil is hired to deliver his own punishment, the kind that’s hard to forget. But when heroin makes its way onto the reservation and finds Virgil’s nephew, his vigilantism becomes personal. Enlisting the help of his ex-girlfriend, he sets out to learn where the drugs are coming from, and how to make them stop.

Following a lead to Denver, they find that drug cartels are rapidly expanding and forming new and terrifying alliances. And back on the reservation, a new tribal council initiative raises uncomfortable questions about money and power. As Virgil starts to link the pieces together, he must face his own demons and reclaim his Native identity - but being a Native American in the twenty-first century comes at an incredible cost.

Winter Counts is a tour-de-force of crime fiction, a bracingly honest look at a long-ignored part of American life, and a twisting, turning story that’s as deeply rendered as it is thrilling.

I loved to get an insight into reservation life, but the story itself takes a long time until it takes off...
not one of the best books but a nice one to get the feel of native American life.

it takes a while until something happens

Der Roman zeigt, da er ja von einem Native American geschrieben wurde, eine glaubwürdige Sicht auf das Leben der Lakota in einem Reservat und ist daher wirklich interessant, obwohl das natürlich nur nebenbei behandelt wird.
Die Story selbst ist o.k., teilweise durchschaubar, aber dann doch auch spannend. Lesenswert

Sehr interessante Einblicke ins Leben in einem Reservat der indigenen Bevölkerung Amerikas
