A Touch of Native Color by Joslyn Chase

A Touch of Native Color

By

Description

This story appears in the short story collection, What Leads A Man To Murder

Spurn the curse, reap the nightmare.

The name on his driver's license was George Henry, but people called him Chief.

He had the bloodline, the heritage, the native skills. And no desire to live up to the name.

Until the day he helped murder an innocent girl.

Prize-winning author, Joslyn Chase, introduces Chief Redfish in a captivating story of murder on the Hood Canal. Fascinating historic details, incredible landscape, a tragic gypsy curse, and the fiendishly cold killing of an unsuspecting young woman all come into play, woven like an indian rug. A winner!
