Add in a case of #mmiw, and the reader is taken on a wild ride as Detective Perry Antelope partners with Sophia Burns to find Dels, a female Indian horse relay rider who has disappeared. Blood Relay is an action-packed novel for contemporary times featuring thrilling heroines.”—Marcie Rendon, author of Where They Last Saw Her
