In 1870, hundreds of thousands of dollars in gold have disappeared en route from Denver City to Kansas City. Considering the seventh cavalry was guarding the treasure, the heist has left everyone baffled.
It's a perfect crime—that is, until greed enters the picture and the mastermind unexpectedly drops dead.
Soldiers, a band of Apaches, a money hungry hired gun, and Pinkerton detectives all want a piece of the action as the crime turns into a free-for-all. The competing parties all cross paths and trade barbs as they travel through the Black Hills on their way to Mexico. Complicating matters are White Owl and Moonin Canoe, two Lakota brothers tracking Apache leader Kila Kazara for stealing a mystical blue horse from their grandfather. They've got the wisdom of the old chiefs on their side. They've also got each other.
Author Martin Napierski captures the excitement of the American West in Moonin Canoe & White Owl, a historical novel filled with lively twists and comical turns. On this deadly adventure, who will ultimately emerge victorious?
