Indian Country: The Copper Twin Mine

Indian Country: The Mike Taylor Mysteries, Book 3

By: Michael Darrow

Narrated by: James Huff

In the sequel to the Amazon Best Selling Novel, Indian Country: Missing, Deputy Sergeant Mike Taylor is led to assist his Native American neighbors when a vision at sweat lodge intrigues him. The outside mining company brought in to open up the old Copper Twin Mine causes ripples across the pond of daily reservation life, pitting modern Native American politics against Traditionalist values. Newly assigned non-sworn Missing Persons Investigator Veronica Likes Pretty Dresses has her hands full just learning her new job when a massive cold case involving not only several missing and murdered girls, but one hitting very close to home for the Pine County Sheriff himself, lands in her lap. Sworn to secrecy, Carol McBride assists her in attempting to resolve the cases.

Sergeant Taylor is pushed to his limit when a Tribal Police Officer goes missing, leading to a powerful showdown between opposing parties.

Author Michael Max Darrow uses current events in Native America and his experiences in both Law Enforcement and Lakota spirituality to weave an intricate tale of tribal politics, apathy, and death.

Just OK Third Book

Mike Taylor’s progression in this series has shifted further into Lakota spiritualism and sharpshooter stardom and is received with strained credulity. The story towards the end has Mike pulling out his Army tactical vest with supposed Ranger and Sniper badges as evidence of his former US Army elitism. The off putting facts are that Army Ranger patches are not affixed to vests, and there is NO U.S. Army sniper qualification badge.
