MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN & GIRLS continues the powerful story begun in Spirit Pass, delving even deeper into the systemic injustices and dangerous assumptions that surround the disappearances of Native women.
When a young woman vanishes after leaving The Copper Mule bar and grill, Tribal Detective Sergeant Jessica Medicine Stone once again teams up with FBI Agent Casey Borgreve. But their stakeout quickly turns into a clash of values when Casey makes a comment about the missing woman's appearance-a moment that sparks a raw and necessary confrontation.
Just because a woman dresses provocatively doesn't mean she should be assaulted, raped, or murdered, Jessica reminds him. And accepting a few drinks? Still not consent.
As Jessica works to track down the predator responsible, she also fights the quieter but equally dangerous forces of bias, victim-blaming, and cultural ignorance-even from her own partner. Casey begins to understand that justice can't come without unlearning, listening, and changing.
Set in a modern reservation community on the edge of urban sprawl-where money from casinos hasn't erased centuries of trauma-MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN & GIRLS is a searing, character-driven mystery that demands we see beyond stereotypes, and that we stop asking the wrong questions about the women who disappear.
