D.M. Rowell will be at the Belmont Library on Saturday, November 16 at 2:00 PM to talk all about her newest book, Silent Are the Dead, the second in the Mud Sawpole series. The first fifty attendees will receive a free copy of the book!
D. M. Rowell (Koyh Mi O Boy Dah), like her protagonist, Mud, comes from a long line of Kiowa (kai uh wuh) storytellers within a Plains Indian culture that treasures oral traditions. After a 32-year career spinning stories for Silicon Valley start-ups and corporations, Rowell started writing the Mud Sawpole mysteries featuring a Silicon Valley professional Kiowa woman solving thefts and murders in Kiowa country.
Once again, D.M. Rowell joins Tony Hillerman as a great writer of top mysteries.... If Killers of the Flower Moon caught your fancy, you won't want to miss this one! -- Eric Redman (Bones of Hilo; Death in Hilo)
In Never Name the Dead, Mae, a high-powered professional in Silicon Valley, had left the name "Mud" and her Kiowa roots behind a decade ago. After returning home to discover a tribe in disarray and her grandfather missing, Mud had to search for answers, plunging into a web of theft, betrayal, and murder. In Silent Are the Dead, Mud Sawpole is back on tribal land and uncovers an illegal fracking operation that threatens the Kiowa's ancestral homeland. When a local businessman involved in artifact thefts is murdered, and a respected tribe elder faces accusation of the crime, Mud searches deep within herself to find answers--and a murderer.
