Box, Craig Johnson, and Tony Hillerman - a blizzard-bound Wyoming mystery where a small-town doctor trying to save lives keeps nearly losing his own.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Patrick Flint drives a rattling International Harvester Travelall through a blizzard to Fort Washakie Health Center on the Wind River Reservation, with his x-ray tech Wes and a frozen radiator hose. By the time he arrives, there's a newborn baby who needs delivering, a dead man named Big Mike Teton in the parking lot, and a tribal police officer who doesn't want Patrick asking questions about either one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBig Mike's wife Constance is Patrick's colleague. She's beautiful, she's recently widowed, and she does not behave like a grieving widow. The reservation's complex web of loyalties, jealousies, and a threatening note written in black marker suggest that Big Mike did not die of natural causes - and Patrick's missing urine sample confirms it. When someone sabotages Constance's brake line and shoots at Patrick with a shotgun, the BIA officer still calls it a prank. When Patrick ends up tied to a chair with a strychnine syringe coming at his neck, he stops wondering whether he's overreacting.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, Susanne and the children drive through the storm to find him, finding only an intimate-looking newspaper photograph and a beautiful woman grabbing Patrick's hand.
