Then Judith Calf Looking  a local Blackfeet girl missing for several months  turns up dead in a snowbank with a mysterious brand on her forearm. The sheriff - whose romantic relationship with Lola provides Magpie with its most delicious gossip in years - thinks Judith probably froze to death while hitch-hiking back to the reservation from wherever shed been. But Lola hears rumors that Judith had been working as an exotic dancer in the North Dakota oil fields  and further discovers that several Blackfeet girls  all known drug users  have gone missing over the past year. She heads out to the oil patch to check things out  only to find herself in a place where men outnumber women a hundred to one  the law looks the other way  and life - especially her own - is cheap. Dakota shows the frightening underside of a boom-and-bust economy; of the effect on a small town when big-city money washes in  accompanied by hordes of men far from their families; of what happens when the old rules no longer apply  but the new ones are yet to be determined.Gwen FlorioPermanent Press (NY)03\/21\/2014266Binding Paperback0.75lbs8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60d9781579624682This title is not returnable\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45275947728949,"sku":"ByrdShop_1579624685","price":97.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781579624682.jpg?v=1780519152","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/dakota-9781579624682","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
