Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A knock on the door and Chris Brennan is informed by the police that his sister Theresa is dead. The police at the scene find alcohol and an antidepressant drug, and suicide is suspected. But why was she depressed? Theresa, a Catholic woman known for her charity work, was a successful court reporter working for a federal judge on a high profile case deliberating an Arizona Native American tribe’s right to build a new casino – even though legislation in place seemed to prohibit any new casinos. The high stakes casino venture has the ingredients of a fascinating tale of money and power: tribe versus tribe, Indian sovereignty versus states’ rights, and even Congress versus the White House. Chris travels to Phoenix to investigate Theresa’s death, and as he unravels Theresa’s secrets, he encounters the forces that influenced Theresa’s life. His life is threatened and he prays for God’s help as he seeks to leave an enduring legacy for his departed sister and strives to make a positive impact on a pregnant American Indian teenager. “…well researched, rich in details and narrative drive, and a really smooth read.” MATT HENDERSON ELLIS, author of "Keeping Bedlam at Bay in the Prague Café" “…excellent job of explaining the political landscape, and the mystery of Theresa’s death kept me guessing to the end.” MARY JEAN KEE, Stone Harbor Book Shop
