Dela Alvaro is a disabled veteran who grew up on the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation. When an IED in Iraq ended her military career, she came home to reassess her life and landed a job in security at the Indian run casino on the reservation.
Not even a year into being the assistant to the head of security, Dela is promoted on a trial basis. When one of the casino employees is found stabbed and stuffed in a laundry chute, she knows she can kiss head of security goodbye if she doesn’t find the killer before the media gets hold of the story.
While she is in over her head, she can’t decide if the FBI Special Agent called in to help is a blessing or a curse. It’s a man she ran across in Iraq who overrode her authority. When a second casino employee is killed, Dela has to decide if she can trust the special agent with not only keeping her job but keeping the rest of the casino employees safe.

The first dead body was found in the clothes chute for the Spotted Pony Casino. For temporary head of security, Dela Alvaro, who lived all of her civilian life on the reservation despite not being of the tribe this is a major problem. Add in an intrusive FBI agent she remains angry with over choices he made regarding a prisoner while they were both active duty US army, the threat this poses to her acceptance as Head of Security, her devotion to duty, her Helicopter Mother (Dela is 38!), and the trials inherent in wearing a weight-bearing prosthesis. The story moves along swiftly and with the ever-present twists and red herrings. The characters and their issues are very real, which will make this new series just as interesting as Ms Jager's others. I loved it! Is it a spoiler if I say that the veteran with a lower limb amputation winds up with a dog who has to have a back limb amputated?
I have the audio, but I am disappointed with the narrator's bland performance since she was so good with the Shandra Higheagle series.
Well done
