Father John O'Malley makes it his personal business to tend to the souls of the Wind River Reservation. With the disappearance of a young man, and his old friend Vicky Holden accused of murder - his hunch is that both events are somehow connected to the sect leader known as Orlando. Resurrecting the old Shadow Dance religion, Orlando and his followers will let nothing delay the coming of their New World. To get the proof they need, Father John and Vicky must do more than follow Orlando's trail. They must learn his dance. And there's no telling what a man who believes himself to be a prophet might do when he feels threatened.
