Synopsis: &“Truly mysterious—informed by Western legend, steeped in Indian superstition . . . Riding with Du Pré is some kind of enchantment&” (The New York Times Book Review). A rumor circulates around academic circles that the long-lost journals of Meriwether Lewis are in the possession of a hard-bitten Montana fiddler named Gabriel Du Pré. A few years ago, the Métis Indian led a documentary film crew down the Missouri River to commemorate the bicentennial of the famous Lewis and Clark expedition, but he won&’t say whether or not he has the journals. Only Benetsee, Du Pré&’s mysterious spiritual guide, has any idea where the journals are, and only a fool would try to make Benetsee talk when he doesn&’t feel like it. It&’s quite possible, though, that billionaire Markham Millbank is a fool. His money cannot persuade Du Pré, and so he begins to consider other forms of pressure. When two of Du Pré&’s friends are kidnapped, the fiddler faces a tough decision: Hand over the journal or risk innocent lives to keep it out of the wrong hands . . .The Tumbler is the 11th book in The Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel Du Pré series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
