Dreadfulwater

Thumps DreadfulWater is a Cherokee ex-cop trying to make a living as a photographer in the small town of Chinook, somewhere in the northwestern United States. But he doesn't count on snapping shots of a dead body languishing in a newly completed luxury condo resort built by the local Indian band.

Before long, he is deeply entangled in the mystery and has his work cut out for him.

Thumps DreadfulWater has never liked surprises -- even the good ones are annoying. So it's no shock that a string of seemingly random occurrences is causing Thumps some real discomfort.

In the background hovers the ghostly presence of Lucy Kettle, second-in-charge of the Red Power movement, a tough woman in a tough place until her disappearance years ago. Now the sheriff wants Thumps to trade in his photography gig for a temporary cop beat. And it won't be over, Thumps soon realizes, until everyone's dead -- or famous.
