In the Moon of Red Ponies

By James Lee Burke

Mystery (2004)

Another dark adventure in Montana involving attorney and "hero of the people," Billy Bob Holland.

As in most of Burke's books, global issues are involved. This time it is land preservation and the rights of Native Americans. Billy Bob's friend, Johnny American Horse, has been charged with the murder of two mysterious men. Corrupt law enforcement officers and western-style organized crime add to the drama.

Burke writes page-turners, and this is another effort that will keep you under the reading lamp.

¢ This book and many others are available in both Spanish and English as well as book and audio form at the De Soto branch of the Johnson County Library. The book is also available on audio tape.

For more information, call the library at 583-3106.
