A LEGACY OF LIES AND BLOODSHED — Beneath the serene surface of LaConner, Washington -- a popular and picturesque small town on the Northwests Puget Sound -- trouble is brewing between the local and Native American communities: a growing storm of suspicion and violence incited by long-standing prejudice. . .and recent murder. — As he does every week, Jesuit priest Father Mark Townsend has come to LaConner to visit his grandparents during the annual Tulip Festival in the Skagit Valley. But this time a corpse awaits him -- the body of his grandfathers best friend, Dutch Olsen, a man well known for his hatred of Swinomish Indian fishing practices, and for his passion for illegal treasure-hunting on tribal lands. Now father Townsend is caught in the middle of a volatile conflict involving stolen artifacts and vanishing salmon crops. And its up to him to solve a mystery that could mark his grandfather as a murderer. . .and bring deadly crimes of the past to life again.
