When tribal chairman Oscar Sweetwater asks Charlie Moon to look into the murder of a fellow Ute, Billy Smoke, Charlie agrees, but he doesn't expect to find anything. After all, Billy's boss, U.S. Senator Patch Davidson, nearly died in the ambush that night, too, so the FBI handled the investigation and it's still unsolved. The senator does happen to be Charlie's neighbor, though-their ranches share a fence line-so maybe the senator will be more forthcoming...

Called in by his aunt, Ute tribal elder Daisy Perika, when she experiences a terrifying vision of unnatural death, part-time investigator Charlie Moon, aided by FBI Special Agent Lila Mae McTeague, launches a probe into the killing of an elderly Nevada man, whose body is found with the prime suspect, a teenage orphan girl who is the child of Charlie's old friend.

Ute rancher and part-time tribal investigator Charlie Moon's plans for marital bliss with FBI Special Agent Lila Mae McTeague are put on hold thanks to Charlie's cantankerous aunt, her sixteen-year-old niece, and their visions of a murdered woman.

Contacted by a frantic Wanda Naranjo to track down her missing sixteen-year-old, eight-months-pregnant daughter, Colorado rancher and part-time tribal investigator Charlie Moon races against time to save the girl.
