It is the time of the annual Sun Dance on the Wind River Reservation, the ancient sacred ceremony that unites Arapahos in prayer and peaceful renewal. However, in The Spider’s Web, that peace is soon shattered, when an outsider intrudes, claiming to be engaged to a young Arapaho man with a girlfriend, who claims no knowledge of the supposed fiancée. When the young man is murdered and the young woman is assaulted at the scene, suspicion turns on her. When Vicky Holden agrees to represent the outsider, she finds herself at odds with both her own people, and with Father John O’Malley. Join us on Saturday, September 18, at noon, for a lively discussion of the 15th Wind River mystery with Margaret Coel.

Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley find themselves on opposite sides of an investigation.

When Arapaho Ned Windsong is shot to death, his fiancée Marcy is the only witness. Even though she identifies two Arapaho troublemakers, Ned's family clings to the belief that Marcy herself was responsible. Convinced of Marcy's innocence, Vicki agrees to represent the outsider- and finds herself at odds with her own people.

She also finds herself at odds with Father John, because the mission priest has glimpsed something in the beautiful girl that shakes him to his core. And when the men Marcy has accused of murdering her fiancé are found dead in an abandoned barn, Vicky and Father John realize they are caught in a web of lies and deceit woven by a master.
