"McCafferty's wryly bantering characters are irresistible, his humor tangy, and his lyricism potent as he matches escalating action with intriguing disquisition...A sharply ironic and suspenseful tale surreptitiously veined with profound insights into love, friendship, cultural collisions, and dire conflicts over wildlife and land, the sacred and the profitable."
--Booklist (starred) "Absorbing...[An] entertaining tale."--Publisher's Weekly
"With wry humor, Montana PI Sean Stranahan negotiates the territory between tradition and public interest with native rights in a mystery filled with characters we city folks don't meet often enough."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"Explosive, gripping and not to be missed. Keith McCafferty gets the West just right with its cast of individualistic characters, stunning backdrops and a past that breaks through in violent and unexpected ways. Buffalo Jump Blues is an impressive crime novel, and McCafferty is an impressive writer."
--Margaret Coel, New York Times bestselling author of The Man Who Fell From the Sky and Winter's Child
"Gorgeous writing about Montana's wilderness, and battles among the forces competing to claim it."Critical Mass
"Keith McCafferty understands that there is much more to a riveting mystery than what is commonly found in the typical whodunit. He also knows that a rousing good tale can often shine a light on important matters that deserve our attention. In Buffalo Jump Blues, McCafferty does that and more as he takes us into the heart of Big Sky Country, a place he knows and loves, and treats us to a tightly crafted tale packed with quirky, captivating characters -- mostly good, some just plain mean, and several who are simply murderous - and weaves an adventure that leaves you wanting more. He writes with heart and command of the story that sparkles on every page."
--Michael McGarrity, New York Times bestselling author of Backlands
"Buffalo Jump Blues is an evocative portrayal of the West, as rugged as it is fragile, and the centuries-old conflicts that still haunt the land and the people. McCafferty nails the delicate balance between humor and heft in a genuine way as he skillfully weaves together history and a present day mystery through an eclectic, endearing cast of characters. You will be thinking about this book long after you read the last page."--P.J. Tracy, New York Times bestselling author of Off the Grid
"McCafferty has written one of the best books of the year. He's a great plot spinner, a master of pacing, and has a wonderful ear for dialogue. A must read."--Andrew Gulli, editor at The Strand Magazine
"McCafferty has an ear and eye for character, language, history, politics and murder, all of which come together in this strikingly original novel, which plays the past and present conflicts of American Indian life with and against a very contemporary story of identity, corruption and murder that grabs the reader on the first page and never lets go."--Jonathan Santlofer, bestselling author of The Death Artist
"Rich in history, local color, and unique characters."--Kirkus Reviews
