Last Wolf at Eagle Well

A Native American FBI agent must navigate the wilds of New Mexico—and deadly legends of the past—to catch a killer in this chilling crime novel. Rookie FBI agent Rusty Redtail is a man of two worlds—the federal government’s world of law and order, and the Muscalero Apache’s world from which he came. So he’s a natural choice to take on the case of a savage murder involving a Federal Bureau of Land Management agent in a remote region of New Mexico. But death is nothing new to the area. There are plenty of unsolved murders, disappearances and unusual fatalities dating back hundreds of years. Most involve the legendary Wolf family—now deceased—whose secret Eagle Well is rumored to hold both golden treasure and a cache of damning information. Many have searched for hit. And many have died trying. Someone is still protecting the Eagle Well. And if Rusty can’t put together the clues of the past, his own future is going to be cut brutally short . . . Rusty Redtail, a Mescalero Apache, rookie FBI agent is dispatched to remote western New Mexico to solve the brutal murder of Federal BLM Ranger Jimmy Hanson. This out-of-the-way area is plagued with unsolved murders, disappearances and other, unexplained events ranging from the mysterious disappearance and suspected murder of county sheriff Bucky Tuttle back in 1955 to the death of a Chicago cattle buyer at the Hoof Highway railhead way back in 1897. There are two common connections: the powerful-but presumed extinct-Wolf family, and their secret repository, the legendary Eagle Well. Ranger Jimmy Hanson, an amateur treasure hunter, had been searching for this so-called well and the rumored fortune of old gold eagle coins and stash of incriminating information hidden in it. Had he found it-or died trying? Rusty believes this illusive Eagle Well holds the keys to his solving all the old, and even this new, crime. But does it? The last of the Wolf family dynasty is long dead; their cache of gold eagle coins lost forever-right?
