  Cash Blackbear, a young Ojibwe woman and occasional sleuth, is back on the case after a man is found dead on a rural Minnesota farm in the next installment of the acclaimed Native crime series. 
   
  Minnesota, 1970s: It’s spring in the Red River Valley and Cash Blackbear is doing fieldwork for a local farmer—until she finds him dead on the kitchen floor of the property’s rented farmhouse. The tenant, a Native field laborer, and his wife are nowhere to be found, but Cash discovers their young daughter, Shawnee, cowering under a bed. The girl, a possible witness to the killing, is too terrified to speak. 
   
  In the wake of the murder, Cash can’t deny her intuitive abilities: she is suspicious of the farmer’s grieving widow, who offers to take in Shawnee temporarily. While Cash is scouring White Earth Reservation for Shawnee’s missing mother—whom Cash wants to find before the girl is put in the foster system—another body turns up. Concerned by the escalating threat, Cash races against the clock to figure out the truth of what happened in the farmhouse. 
   
  Broken Fields is a compelling, atmospheric read woven with details of American Indian life in northern Minnesota, abusive farm labor practices and women’s liberation.

  That is, until he meets Morgan, a strong, beautiful farm girl who captures his heart and turns his world on its ear. but Morgan harbors secrets of her own...and as James will discover, creatures far darker than he walk this Earth. 
  "In Scream of the Butterfly, Christophe Maso wraps big questions about the nature and limits of love in a propulsive narrative that punches above its weight class. A strong debut, this novella both delivers on its own promise and marks Maso as a writer to watch. Closely." -- John Langan, award-winning author of Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies 
  "Like the Jim Morrison of horror fiction, Christophe Maso won't stop breaking the rules. Indeed, even after you've made it to 'the end' of his dark tale of madness and desire, you may still find it hard to 'break on through' the lingering shadows." -- Josh Schlossberg, award-winning author of Malinae and editor of The Jewish Book of Horror
