"Drumbeats in the empty forest. No drummer: just drums. Night falls, and the drums beat, and a shadow comes creeping out of the woods... That's how the killing starts." Linnet shrugs off the lurid stories about Lynx Leap. But she's a guest in the huge, decaying house in the north woods, and it's hard not to get spooked. Especially at night, when she hears drumbeats, and voices crying. And when something stalks her in the stairwell and in the attic, with its menagerie of stuffed dead animals. Her friend Mark is chasing other shadows. He believes his beloved Great-Uncle Lot, the last owner of Lynx Leap, was murdered. Before he died, Lot tagged Mark to find the truth behind the horror stories. Horrors that really happened, scattered across time, but with oddly similar details. Digging deep, the two teens unearth an ancient crime that still has to be paid for. Lot's murder was the shock that woke the sleeping hunter. Unless they can end the cycle of death and vengeance, it's all about to happen again.

Iroquoian Women: The Gantowisas provides a thorough, organized look at the social, political, economic, and religious roles of women among the Iroquois, explaining their fit with the larger culture. Gantowisas means more than simply «woman» - gantowisas is «woman acting in her official capacity» as fire-keeping woman, faith-keeping woman, gift-giving woman; leader, counselor, judge; Mother of the People. This is the light in which the reader will find her in Iroquoian Women. Barbara Alice Mann draws upon worthy sources, be they early or modern, oral or written, to present a Native American point of view that insists upon accuracy, not only in raw reporting, but also in analysis. Iroquoian Women is the first book-length study to regard Iroquoian women as central and indispensable to Iroquoian studies.
