As authors we travel extensively in Wyoming in the summer to come across new adventures and stories about the past. The Sheepeaters were a reclusive tribe of Native Americans who are believe to be early Shoshoni. They lived high in the mountains around what is now Yellowstone Park and other areas. where they hunted sheep and were rarely seen. They left behind traces of their existence through wooden structures, pottery, and rare horn bows they used for hunting.
After McQuede is jilted at the altar by his long-time girlfriend, Dawson convinces him that a relaxing river rafting trip is just what he needs to get over his heartaches. Unknown to Dawson, McQuede has come along to investigate the disappearance of a young man who has recently vanished from the lodge. Andy Norton may be perpetuating one of his notorious hoaxes or he may be in serious danger. Dawson also has a secret motive for the trip. He is searching for a rare Native American Sheepeater camp, a project that draws Loris and her boss and rival, Arden Reed, to the scene. Surrounded by colorful characters and intrigue, McQuede finds himself in a race to save valuable artifacts and to find out what happened to Andy.
