Dreamcatcher's Curse: A Cripple Creek Mystery (Cripple Creek Mysteries Book 5 of 5)

When a priest is murdered in a tranquil setting, it leads to one of the most unusual investigations in Sheriff Brady Wagner’s career.  Father Anselmo was the beloved headmaster of Saint Anthony’s Indian School, but his death revealed a secret life, with surprises at the school that no one could see coming. 

Each month, the school’s aggressive marketing strategy resulted in millions of dollars in donations.  The Native American Dreamcatchers became the featured item of the school’s fundraising efforts.  How much of the donated funds actually reached the children at Saint Anthony’s became a question that ended up getting people killed.

With Detective Sarah Fromholz on maternity leave, Deputy Crystal Rosario has been called upon to fill in.  Rosario’s extensive career as a criminalist has taught her many things, but nothing has prepared her for the twists and turns of her first murder case.  Before the case is solved, Rosario and almost everyone around her find themselves in harm’s way. 

Dreamcatcher’s Curse is another colorful tale in the Cripple Creek Mysteries series.  Ron Smith continues to display a knack for creating page-turning plots set in the Rocky Mountains.
