Bitter Creek (The Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel Du Pré Book 14)

In the latest installment of Peter Bowenâ€™s acclaimed mystery series, Gabriel Du PrÃ© investigates a century-old crime

Lieutenant John Patchen has come to Montana to persuade Chappie Plaquemines, his former gunnery sergeant in Iraq and the son of Gabriel Du PrÃ©â€™s girlfriend, to accept the Navy Cross. First, however, Du PrÃ© and Patchen must find the wounded marine, who was last seen drinking heavily in the Toussaint Saloon. They locate him soon enough, disheveled and stinking of stale booze, but a sobering visit to a medicine manâ€™s sweat lodge reveals a much greater mystery: the unsolved case of a band of MÃ©tis who were last seen fleeing from General Black Jack Pershingâ€™s troops in 1910 before disappearing.
Â
Strange voices within the sweat lodge speak of a place called Bitter Creek, where the MÃ©tis encountered their fate. To find it, Du PrÃ© tracks down the only living survivor of the massacre, a feisty old woman whose memories may not be as trustworthy as they seem. But when Amalie leads Du PrÃ© to Pardoe, an out-of-the-way crossroads north of Helena, he senses that they are about to uncover long-buried secrets. Discouraged by the US military, their lives threatened by locals whose ancestors may have played a role in the murders, Chappie, Patchen, and Du PrÃ© bravely pursue the truth so that the victims of a terrible injustice might finally rest in peace.
