The crooked knife

Summary: Constable Nell Munro, of the Sheshatshiu reserve, is angry and in danger of losing her job. A teacher, Jay Tuck, has been found dead, a crooked knife nearby. A two-spirit Innu youth named Pashin is the main suspect, but Nell doesn't buy it. Local activists implore her to keep digging but when she does, Nell is threatened and worse -- so are the kids she cares about. Even when the lead investigator puts Nell on probation for her big mouth, she keeps going. Who is responsible for the recent chaos on the reserve, and why do people who fight it end up either very quiet or very dead?
