Then one night the phone rings. "We . . . got . . . trouble," Neptune's cousin Dennis says from the other end.

Jacob Neptune, a wise-cracking, two-fisted Penacook private investigator with a checkered past, lives in upstate New York--four hundred miles from his tribal community on Abenaki Island. Then one night the phone rings. "We . . . got . . . trouble," Neptune's cousin Dennis says from the other end. And trouble is where it all starts in this brilliant, often hilarious novel by acclaimed Abenaki storyteller Joseph Bruchac.

Attacked by bikers before he can even board his plane, Neptune--"Podjo" to his friends--quickly begins to realize just how much trouble surrounds his people's ancestral home. Guided by his sense of duty to his homeland, he agrees to help protect Dennis and other Penacooks as they stage a takeover of a state campground on land that should have reverted to their tribe. But encroaching developers, government operators, and even fellow Penacooks eager to build a casino each pose a threat to the Abenaki lands--and all have reasons to want Neptune out of the picture.

Podjo greets each challenge with self-deprecating humor--but it's difficult to shake his increasingly disturbing dreams, and an unsettled feeling when his return leads to a reunion with a long-ago love interest. As he and Dennis contend with hired guns, police, and security, a far greater threat appears: someone, or something, is brutally killing people in the woods. It will take all of Neptune's skills as a martial artist and the wisdom gained from tribal elders to battle the forces that threaten the sacred land--and his and his people's lives.

Bruchac ratchets the tension from the first page to the last in this detective novel that pairs comedy and action with serious consideration of corporate greed, environmental destruction, cultural erosion, and other modern-day issues pressing Native peoples.

A Little Gold That Goes a Long Way
I carried this clutch to a wedding where my phone felt bigger than the dinner plate, and somehow everything fit. The woven finish looks classy without screaming for attention, and the gold tone works nicely with both bold and simple outfits. It feels light in hand but not flimsy, which is always a pleasant surprise. The size is just right for essentials like a phone, keys, and lipstick, though overpackers will need restraint. The closure stayed secure all night, even after some enthusiastic dancing. It is not meant for daily use, but for special events it does its job well. Stylish, practical, and easy to carry without stress.

A Textured and Spacious Clutch for Evening Events
Last week, I chose this black woven clutch to match my gown for a friend’s wedding dinner, its fine woven texture had a subtle sheen under the ballroom lights, complementing my velvet dress perfectly, and the gold clasp was elegant and opened smoothly, avoiding the embarrassment of jamming during social interactions. I fit my phone, touch-up powder, lipstick, and a bank card inside, and the space was just right without stretching the bag out of shape, while the top handle was thoughtful—holding it for long periods didn’t strain my hand, and it added a stylish touch when I carried it casually during the transition to the terrace for photos.

The latch is hard to secure but otherwise a decent purse
It is decently made and a with a luxurious design. It is a stiff purse so it will hold shape. There is enough room for a large phone and a few other items as well. The gold is a dark gold. I got this because I have some sandals in this color that I needed a purse to match. My only issue is that the latch on the string has a hard time inserting into the tube. On the positive side of that, it is extremely secure because of it. However, it is a struggle. I'm not sure if it's just this one purse or this color due to the material interfering or what.

Well Made and Chic
Color: Black
I never expected the craftsmanship of this bag to be so excellent! It's not cheap at all, but in my opinion, it can definitely compete with the genuine Boganoamo bag. The weaving is tight and complete. It feels heavy and the wine red color is bright and eye-catching! The packaging is also very exquisite, with a dust cover included. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase!
