About this listen
‘A tour de force!’ S.A COSBY
Virgil Wounded Horse is trying to leave behind his past as a hired enforcer. But when a revered figure on the reservation is found murdered, he is drawn back into a world he thought he’d escaped.
As tensions rise, threats emerge from all sides: a ruthless gang from a neighbouring reservation looking to expand their reach, and a powerful politician determined to tighten his grip at any cost. With a heated tribal council election looming and long-buried truths regarding past injustices at the local Native boarding school coming to light, the pressure mounts.
For Virgil, the search for justice becomes ever more urgent – and more dangerous. Because on Rosebud, the past is never truly gone, and every answer comes with a price.
David Heska Wanbli Weiden delivers a powerful, atmospheric thriller that is not only a compelling story of justice, identity and the weight of the past, but also a vivid portrait of contemporary Native American life.
PRAISE FOR WISDOM CORNER:
‘If you want the real picture of what it is to be Native American today, read David Weiden. It’s a rare ability to entertain and enlighten at the same time, and Weiden is a master at it’ WILLIAM KENT KRUEGER, author of APOSTLE'S COVE
‘A propulsive, tightly plotted thriller, but through Virgil’s eyes, it is also a subtle and thoughtful exploration of legal, political, and social inequities at a time when art is one of the few ways to widen people’s life experiences’ ALAFAIR BURKE, New York Times bestselling author of THE NOTE
PRAISE FOR WINTER COUNTS:
'Harrowing and heartfelt, assured and highly accomplished. One of the standout thrillers of the year' CHRIS WHITAKER
'An incredible novel . . . where hope and heartbreak are found in equal measure' S. A. COSBY
‘As stunning a debut as I’ve read in a long time' MARK BILLINGHAM
