John Thompson thinks he's going to have an easy summer. Instead he runs into an archeological discovery that will shake the field, his field, to its core. Fifty years old, overweight, married to someone who has aided and abetted his career while never forcing him to deal with his own deep-seated insecurities, John flees to the most extreme place he knows: the Makah Indian community at Neah Bay, Washington.
Fans of Kingsolver, Haruf, Larry Watson and even James Lee Burke will find Niles' fast-paced dialogue, intense understanding of the natural world, and devout compassion for humanity's darker side both familiar and wrought in shining new terms.
