A Tribal Affair

A Native American casino-hotel complex is about to disrupt the lives of a small island community off the coast of Massachusetts.  On completion of the hotel portion of the project, a celebratory gala is held and one of the principals, the chief of the tribe, is found dead the next morning.  It’s not long before one of the islanders admits to killing him and the Chief of Police is willing to accept this.  But Amy Lee, an ER physician and the de facto coroner on the island, isn’t so sure.

She embarks on her own investigation, while trying to balance her relationship with this same Chief of Police.  Suspects include unhappy islanders, business partners, disgruntled members of the tribe and family members as well.  The more she discovers, the more confusing the case becomes and ends with Amy, not only unmasking the murderer but nearly becoming a victim herself.

Come enjoy this fast-paced, thrilling, third installment of the Amy Lee Murder Mysteries series as it careens between Amy’s romantic entanglements and pulse-pounding adventure.
