Book Signing: A Prairie Mourning

Local writer, Pat Walsh, will offer a book signing for her mystery novel,  A Prairie Mourning, on Saturday, August 6th from 2 pm until 4 pm at the Arthur Johnson Memorial Library in Raton.

Wildlife activist Trish O’Neill sprawls dead from poison gas in a Colorado prairie dog town. Police think it’s an accident, but Trish’s sister Faith isn’t buying. She recruits Native American Game Warden John Fox, who reluctantly joins Faith’s quest for the truth. As violence sparks around them, Faith struggles to find inner courage by looking to her historical hero—Silas Soule, who opposed the Sand Creek Massacre of peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho people. But while writing Soule’s story provides Faith with a model of bravery, her infatuation with a man dead for more than a hundred years interferes with her chances for love in the present. Both Faith and Fox face hard choices as danger swirls around them.
