Off the Reservation

Walter Jon Williams, author of THIS IS NOT A GAME, says of OFF THE RESERVATION: "Lee Gull has created a fresh, believable character in Michael Yazzie, with a heart as big as the landscapes of the American Southwest." Michael Yazzie, generous and kind-hearted, is talked by his auntie into leaving the Navajo Reservation to look for his missing cousin Jon, who turns out to have been accused of murder. In order to crack the mystery and preserve his life, Michael must create a simulation of the close-knit family he left behind, and soon his posse includes some surprising figures, among them the absent father he never knew.
