"Part thriller, part magical realism, and part social commentary, Indian Killer . . . lingers long past the final page." - Seattle WeeklyA national best seller, Indian Killer is arguably Sherman Alexie's most controversial book to date - a gritty, racially charged literary thriller that, over a decade after its first publication, remains an electrifying tale of alienation and justice. A serial murderer called the Indian Killer is terrorizing Seattle, hunting, scalping, and slaughtering white men. Motivated by rage and seeking retribution for his people's violent history, his grizzly MO and skillful elusiveness both paralyze the city with fear and prompt an uprising of racial brutality. Out of the chaos emerges John Smith. Born to Indians but raised by white parents, Smith yearns for his lost heritage.
