In the River Bottoms Michael Corrigan

When white skydivers fly over contested Indian land and a lucky shot from tribal members on the ground brings down their plane marked with a Confederate flag, a violent cycle of revenge begins. Jack Garth has lost his father and uncle in the crash and wants the shooters to pay. Drawn into a pending range war between white supremacists and Shoshone-Bannock members is former teacher and insurance claims adjustor, Max Gibson, searching for a missing student, an Irish Indian woman named Colleen O' Connor, one of the shooters and Jack Garth's classmate. A wild card is Seamus O' Connor, a retired Irish Republican Army assassin and fugitive from justice who will avenge any attack on his daughter. Angry Indian water spirits, a female tribal oracle, and a second chance at love with a woman named Rita Flynn inform Max Gibson's story as he finds himself caught between two powerful forces.
