SUMMARY:Books on the Boundary: 'The Bone Thief' by Vanessa Lillie (Cherokee Nation)
DESCRIPTION:Books on the Boundary: A Museum of the Cherokee People Reading Circle is a quarterly book club for members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and guests. Club meetings take place on-site at the Museum Store unless otherwise noted. \nWinter’s Read: The Bone Thief by Vanessa Lillie (Cherokee Nation) \nWhen a Native teenager vanishes from her small town—a place with dark ties to an elite historical society—archaeologist Syd Walker is called to investigate…from bestselling author Vanessa Lillie. \nIn the hours before dawn at a local summer camp\, Bureau of Indian Affairs archaeologist Syd Walker receives an alarming call: newly discovered skeletal remains have been stolen. Not only have bones gone missing\, but a Native teen girl has disappeared near the camp\, and law enforcement dismisses her family’s fears. \nAs Syd investigates both crimes\, she’s drawn into a world of privileged campers and their wealthy parents—most of them members of the Founders Society\, an exclusive club whose members trace their lineage to the first colonists and claim ancestral rights to the land\, despite fierce objections from the local tribal community. And it’s not the first time something—or someone—has gone missing from the camp. \nThe deeper Syd digs\, the more she realizes these aren’t isolated incidents. A pattern of disappearances stretches back generations\, all leading to the Founders Society’s doorstep. But exposing the truth means confronting not just the town’s most powerful families\, but also a legacy of violence that refuses to stay buried. \nFrom the national bestselling author of Blood Sisters (a Washington Post Best Mystery of the Year and Target Book Club pick) comes a new Syd Walker novel that proves the sins of the past are destined to repeat until the truth is finally unearthed.
