Short description
The state marshal discovers the body of a young American Indian girl in a remote high-country cabin at Glacier Lake. The marshal is led to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and a white man who is a wannabe Indian.

The state marshal devises a plan and a sting in order to bring justice.Extended description
When state marshal Tom Riggins discovers the body of a young American Indian girl in a remote high-country cabin at Glacier Lake, the clues are few, but sufficient. Tom is led to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and a white man who describes himself as a "wannabe" Indian. One of the issues there is that of a prior record, the use of alcohol, drugs and even prostitution. Further investigation produces a ring of 'trouble-makers' that appear to have some degree of involvement with the death of the American Indian girl, Christine Running Deer.When Tom runs into a 'wall', he uses his final plan, the enlistment of one of the assumed guilty men to work with him to entrap and eventually convict the ringleader, in turn for a lighter sentence. There are a number of turns and twists, but in the end, Tom Riggins secures the deserved justice for Christine Running Deer.

Very poorly written and poor plot. Badly edited and author seemed not to have thought through the plot beforehand. Disjointed and glad I downloaded it for free as if I had paid for this I would want my money back!

Glacier Lake is a good story with some flaws. The M.C., Tom Riggins, is out in -28 degree temp. yet drives down a muddy road. If the author used very few contractions to attempt a local dialect all he did was make the dialog stiff and unnatural. The story has a good plot and characters. I liked it even with the flaws. Editing is average for independent authors but certainly not professional.

I disagree with Howard Mitchell. Apparently Mitchell is not a real reader or fully comprehends his reading. I do not find the mistakes in grammar that he refers to in Glacier Lake. Maybe he has confused his 10 year old daughter's books with this one. We must not have read the same book. Regardless, this was an unnecessary cut below the belt, and serves no real purpose. It only tends to degrades Mitchell's ability to review books. Just goes to prove that some folks would complain if they were hung with a new rope. The worst short coming I see in this novella, is that it is too short. Makes for a good full length story.
I enjoyed this short story. It was an interesting plot and enjoyable story read. Looking for more from this author in the future. I recommend this book (and the price is right!).
Not a great author, but certainly a good author!

If you ignore the many grammatical and spelling mistakes, as well as the tense flip flopping (past/present/past/etc), then you are basically left with nothing. Not worth the download costs. My ten year old daughter writes better stories.
