Book 1 of the Seminole Trilogy.
"Billie believed he had found a better way. For years he had sought sustainable employment for his people; on the remote Reservation of Big Cypress, jobs were difficult to find, hope even harder. Nearing completion of negotiations with business mogul Paul Lorio, Billie was about to realize long-term employment for his people, the accomplishment of his dreams. Or was he? Billie was thrust into a course of events that would lead to intrigue, mystery, romance, and murder, from which there was no turning back. An airboat ambush culminates in a fatal struggle between two men who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals."
