To find a missing young woman, the new tribal marshal must also find herself.

At rock bottom following her daughters death, exChicago detective Carrie Starr has nowhere to go but back to her roots. Starrs father never talked much about the reservation where he was raised, but the tribe needs a new marshal as much as Starr needs a place to call home.

In the past decade, too many young women have disappeared from the rez. Some have ended up dead, others justgone. Now local college student Chenoa Cloud is missing, and Starr falls into an investigation that leaves her drowning in memories of her daughterthe girl she failed to save.

Starr feels lost in this place she thought would welcome her. And when she catches a glimpse of a figure from her fathers stories, with the body of a woman and the antlers of a deer, Starr cant shake the feeling that the fearsome spirit is watching her, following her.

What she doesnt know is whether Deer Woman is here to guide her or to seek vengeance for the lost daughters that Starr can never bring home.
