I have a patron looking for a book he read about 6 months ago, although it
wasn't new at the time. It involves a medicine man with an Osage Indian
tribe who was solving a mystery. The patron believes it was set in Kansas
or Nebraska, but only because he knows that to be Osage area. He's not
sure if it was a western or a mystery, nor whether or not it was part of a
series, although it reminded him of Hillerman's Jim Chee mysteries. In
addition, he thinks he may have read it in a large type edition.

I've tried Bookbrowser.com and Amazon.com, as well as What Western Do I
Read Next, What Mystery Do I Read Next, and Detecting Men. If anyone can
help me out on this one, I'd appreciate a reply directly to me, rather
than the list, as I do not always monitor the list regularly. My e-mail
address is [removed]@monroe.lib.in.us.


Thanks!

Could it be the Kiowa mystery series by Mardi Oakley Medawar?

It's possible your patron is thinking of Mercedes Lackey's "Sacred Ground."
It's primarily a fantasy-cum-horror tale--sort of "Ghostbusters Meet the
Native Americans," but much more serious. The main character, however, *is*
a PI (female: her name is Jennifer Talldeer) who is of mixed Osage and
Cherokee ancestry, and she operates in Oklahoma solving a mystery while
dealing with some very nasty Native spirits.
