The Soboba Settlement. Season 2, Book 2, The Lighthorse Mysteries (en Inglés) - D. Champfleur

A Lighthorse Mysteries Novel

When tribal land, hidden money, and old treaties collide, the truth can ignite like a fuse.

Captain Jack Hawk Hawkins thought he was done chasing shadows. Living quietly aboard his boat in a California marina, the former Chickasaw Lighthorse officer was supposed to be retired.

He isn't.

A dormant legal codicil, a trail of financial transfers routed through shell accounts, and a quiet acquisition of land near the Soboba Reservation have drawn Hawk back into the world he thought he left behind. When a boat explodes in the marina and a tracker appears under his truck back in Oklahoma, the message is unmistakable:

Someone powerful knows he is looking.

As Hawk and his allies follow the money from Austin to the California desert, they uncover a scheme designed to siphon tribal wealth and quietly seize control of land and water rights. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes that this operation has been years in the making-and the people behind it are willing to cross state lines, tribal borders, and any moral boundary to protect it.

Watched by drones, warned by explosives, and hunted across the open highways of the Southwest, Hawk must rely on instinct, old loyalties, and the sovereignty of the nations he serves.

Because the people behind this conspiracy made one fatal mistake:

They believed no one was watching.

They were wrong.

The Soboba Settlement is a gripping modern thriller of tribal justice, financial intrigue, and the quiet strength of those who protect their land.

Perfect for readers who enjoy Michael Connelly, Craig Johnson, and modern crime novels rooted in real places and real stakes.
