BLOOD RELAY a novel. DEVON MIHESUAH An outline of the back of a woman appears between two cliff faces. At the bottom of the book, we see horses and riders racing in a Native horse relay ABOUT BLOOD RELAY Choctaw Detective Perry Antelope has been with her partner, Sophia Burns, for only six months. Perry is a seasoned investigator while the ex-Olympian shot putter Sophia is a former street-smart police officer. Together, they are an intrepid pair with an established record of success. But when Perry and Sophia are called to investigate the disappearance of Dels Billy, a beloved women’s Indian Horse Relay rider, they quickly realize that it’s not as cut-and-dry as anything they’ve faced before.

My review of The Bone Picker is up at Compulsive Reader. Yakoke to the Choctaw historian and horror writer @dmihesuah.bsky.social for writing the book of Choctaw legend and lore that I’ve wanted to read since I was a kid.
