Some suspect it is the unseen force behind the brutal murder of Bernadette Lefthand, a young woman renowned on the Jicarilla Apache reservation for her beauty and graceful dancing. Others suspect Bernadette's hard-drinking husband, Anderson George, who has inexplicably disappeared. Gracie, Bernadette's teenage sister, tries to make sense of the vortex of doom in which the young couple seems to have been caught, while Bernadette's Anglo employer, Starr Stubbs, and an unnamed stranger reveal a tale of betrayal and tragedy.In prose rich with the rhythms and colors of the desert highways, Ron Querry--a member of the Choctaw Nation--paints a vivid portrait of the lives of contemporary Native Americans. A riveting tale of passion, obsession, and destruction,The Death of Bernadette Lefthandis a compelling novel about heritage, family, and the dark magic of the twisted soul.媒体推荐This first novel of the death of a young Indian dancer remains as powerful in its reprint as upon its original publication in 1994. Southwest native peoples are the focus of a portrait of intrigue and discovery which captures the color and drama of contemporary Native American peoples. --Midwest Book Review
