Revised and Expanded Edition (Jessica Stone Novellas #1-3 plus a bonus)

Spirit Pass: Revised and Expanded Edition is a collection of Jessica Stone Novellas #1-3, along with a bonus chapter from the upcoming installment in the series, titled A Soul Darker Than Midnight. This fictional anthology delves into the troubling realities surrounding the high rates of violence, missing persons, and murder cases experienced by indigenous women. For decades, Native women have faced a murder rate higher than the national average, which is part of the broader spectrum of violence they endure.

The narrative follows the story of Tribal Detective Sergeant Jessica (Medicine) Stone and her frequent partner, FBI Special Agent Casey Borgreve, as they navigate the obstacles faced by tribal law enforcement in addressing these critical issues. The utter lack of coordination between different law enforcement agencies has failed to adequately support the missing and murdered, as well as their survivors.

More than four out of five indigenous women report being victims of violence. This collection of novellas sheds light on the challenges and personal stories behind these alarming statistics. It showcases the dedication of individuals like Detective Sergeant Stone, who are committed to pursuing justice and finding answers for their communities.

Through the use of social media and other investigative methods, the narratives explore the lengths families will go to track down their missing loved ones, highlighting the vital role that community involvement and advocacy can play in these cases. The series aims to bring attention to the systemic issues that have allowed these tragedies to persist, while also celebrating the resilience and determination of the people at the heart of these stories.

Spirit Pass: Revised and Expanded Edition is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of a pressing social issue, told through the lens of compelling fictional narratives. It serves as a call to action, urging readers to recognize and address the ongoing crisis faced by indigenous women, and to support the efforts of those working tirelessly to bring about much-needed change.
