Indian killer - Couverture souple

A serial murderer is terrorizing Seattle, hunting and scalping white men. And the crimes of the so-called Indian Killer have triggered a wave of violence and racial hatred. Seattle's Native Americans are shaken and confused, none more so than John Smith. Born Indian, raised white, Smith desperately yearns for his lost heritage and seeks his elusive true identity. He meets Marie, a stormy Indian activist particularly outraged by people like Jack Wilson, the mystery writer who passes himself as part Indian. As a bigoted radio personality incites whites to seek revenge, tensions mount, Smith fights to slake the anger that engulfs him...and the Indian Killer claims yet another life. Lauded as a poet and author of exceptional lyricism and humor, Sherman Alexie now dips his pen in something stronger-and offers a gritty and eye-opening novel of alienation and justice.

Un asesino múltiple aterroriza a Seaule. En una ola de tensión racial, la prensa decide apodarle "Indian Killer". Sus víctimas son todas de raza blanca, los cadáveres han sido despojados del cuero cabelludo y llevan dos plumas de búho como lúgubre adorno sobre sus pechos yertos
