Summary:

"The police won't investigate the missing Native girls -- so who will? After a girl she knows from school goes missing and is found dead in the Red River, Feather is shocked when the police write it off as a suicide. Then, it's Feather's best friend, Mia, who vanishes. Everyone knows that Native girls are disappearing and being killed, but no one is connecting the dots. Mia's mom and abusive stepfather paint Mia as a frequent runaway, so Feather knows that it's up to her to find out what is happening. What she doesn't know is that the serial killer who is taking and killing girls has become obsessed with Feather, and her investigation into their deaths is leading her into terrible danger. Set in Winnipeg against the real-life background of unsolved cases of missing and murdered Aboriginal women, this fictional thriller explores one teenager's response to a system that has long denied and misrepresented the problem." -- back cover
