In the Eye of the Law — Lorinda Hagen

The only good Indian…

If Jason Colorado had not stopped to help a child who had fallen while roller-skating, he would not have found himself on trial for the rape-slaying of the little girl.

If he had not been a full-blooded Paiute Indian, he might have had a chance for justice. But this was LaMonte, Nevada, where the law-abiding citizens still believed that the only good Indian is a dead Indian. Jason Colorado stood a very good chance of becoming a dead Indian.
