While searching for a clandestine mustang roundup, two wild horse advocates have disappeared without a trace in the Nevada desert. When journalist Kate Wyndham and Shoshone Indian horse whisperer Jim Ludlow set out to discover their fate, they find themselves caught up in a web of corruption, deceit and intrigue that threatens to destroy everything they hold dear and may even claim their lives.
Review:
…shouldn’t be needed to read Nell Walton’s book the Bone Trail – it felt like coming home. Her tale set around the Shoshone Reservation in Nevada has similar resonances with Tony Hillerman for me, whose books I’ve read for a number of years. Centered around the illegal roundup of the wild mustangs on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, the reporter heroine and the Shoshone hero work very well as an investigative duo searching for the truth behind the disappearance of two wild horse activists. Walton does a great job of evoking the landscape and spirit of the Nevada setting while setting out the plight of the wild horses entrusted to the care of the BLM – I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to her next venture. Go read it!
