Tout juste acquitté de l'accusation de meurtre qui pesait sur lui, Leo Desroches a certes retrouvé son poste au journal,…
mais il n'en demeure pas moins prisonnier des démons qui l'habitent. Décidément, l'été sera chaud à Edmonton, avec cette vague de morts suspectes qui sévit et tous les moustiques qui envahissent la ville. Or, quand Leo capte sur vidéo la négligence des sous-traitants chargés de transporter le corps d'une victime de surdose, il sait que la chance vient enfin de frapper à sa porte. De fait, il est le seul journaliste à avoir remarqué le petit sachet tombé de la housse mortuaire que les brancardiers maladroits ont quasi échappée. Ce petit sachet, Leo l'a ramassé en douce, mais il a été déçu par son contenu : de vulgaires cailloux. Néanmoins, il décide de s'intéresser à Trevor Duplessis, le cadavre malmené, et c'est ainsi qu'il apprend que l'homme œuvrait comme technicien de forage dans les mines de diamants du Nord canadien. Encore mieux : Duplessis avait récemment confié à des proches être mêlé à une sale affaire... Sur la brèche, Leo remonte avec acharnement la piste, car il ne croit plus du tout à la thèse d'une mort par surdose !

A note is left on a car windshield, an old dog dies, and Kent Nerburn finds himself back on the…
Lakota reservation where he traveled more than a decade before with a tribal elder named Dan. The touching, funny, and haunting journey that ensues goes deep into reservation boarding-school mysteries, the dark confines of sweat lodges, and isolated Native homesteads far back in the Dakota hills in search of ghosts that have haunted Dan since childhood. In this fictionalized account of actual events, Nerburn brings the land of the northern High Plains alive and reveals the Native American way of teaching and learning with a depth that few outsiders have ever captured.
