Shinan's Way

About the Book

Shinan has always tried to do the right thing and follow her Cheyenne grandmother's wisdom. Seeking solitude and reflection after her husband's untimely death, Shinan leaves her home in Trinity City and travels to the wilderness for a two-week backpacking trip with her dog, Sapa.

When Shinan becomes the victim of a heinous crime committed by a group of men, she clings to her grandmother's insight more than ever. Helped by Tanner, a cowboy of faultless character, Shinan refuses to succumb to the cruelty of the attack. Determined not to become a victim, she begins the hunt for justice. But what Shinan and Tanner discover may put them in grave danger. As Shinan and Tanner put the pieces of the puzzle together, they find they have a common thread in their definition of justice and in their feelings for each other.

It's not long before the two uncover a deadly crime linked to a shady lawyer named Rascoe. Their quest takes Shinan and Tanner back to Trinity City where they hope to expose the truth before they become casualties themselves
