Runoff

About the Book

Sunset Denis suffers from visions of ghosts and the horrors of the Vietnam War, so he spends his nights in a Menomonee Indian Reservation tavern trying to wash the images away. During an alcohol induced flashback, he kills a tribal policeman and flees deep into the Central Wisconsin reservation. At the same time, there has been a rash of brutal murders in the region. A serial killer is at work and Sunset is the prime suspect. Sheriff Early Crow, Sunset's best childhood friend, reluctantly agrees to try to bring him in.

During the manhunt, Sheriff Crow encounters the leader of a dark militia group, called the Defenders of Freedom, which is plotting to start a race war between the reservation's Indian population and local whites. Soon the tables turn and the militia become the hunters and Early Crow the hunted.

With the help of Sunset Denis and a small group of civilians he meets and deputizes along the way, Sheriff Crow battles on two fronts to escape his militia pursuers and bring the real serial killer to justice.
