5.0 out of 5 stars Real serial killings inspired this well-written tale., 29 Jan 1997
By A Customer
Set in modern day Santa Cruz, Owens has constructed a fictional thriller based on events in and around the infamous mission's domain. Troubled spirits mingle with malignant minds as Native American professor Cole McCurtain finds himself and his Choctaw family drawn into a story he has dreamed for many nights. Find yourself drawn to Cole's wise young daughter Abby and his wise-cracking cross-dressing Navajo friend Alex Yazzie. This literary novel is a great thriller which provides lots of laughs and some sexy characters along the way.

Bone Game is the sequel to The Sharpest Sight, a mystery set many years earlier with protagonist Cole McCurtain coming of age along the Salinas River. Another excellent and very funny literary text that doubles as a sensational mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars In Owens's narrative a heinous series of murders, 15 Nov 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Bone Game: A Novel (American Indian Literature & Critical Studies) (Paperback)
prompts the inevitable question of 'Whodunit?" says Margaret Payne of World Literature Today. "However, the text's richness liesin its addressing the more pressing concern and psychological mystery of the contemporary mixedblood Native American: the internal conflicts of 'who am I?' Neither question is easily answered; rather, the dual mysteries' inextricable relationship sustains Bone Game's narrative and creates a much more complex text than the term "mystery" connotes."
