LAURA WINSLOW is a rather unique addition to he growing field of Native-American sleuths. She's a pill-popping, bed-hopping Hopi high-tech private detective who has some real hang-ups and doubts about her heritage. She specializes in hacking onto the electronic trail of people who want to stay lost, a sort of Jane Whitefield in reverse.

Laura's a modern girl, for better or worse, and she doesn't put much stock in the old ways, and would rather not hear about visions of Powakas or Navajo skinwalkers-- or anything else that will kick up memories of her old life as "Kauwanyauma" back on the "rez" in Arizona.

In her powerful debut, Butterfly Lost (2000), she finds herself confronting both her past and the macho world of the rodeo circuit while trying to track down an elderly Hopi's granddaughter.
