"A foundation on which future
studies in the sub-genre may be based or out of which they may
develop."—Gerald Vizenor,
author of Wordarrows
In Murder on the Reservation, Ray B. Browne surveys
the work of all of the best-known writers of crime fiction involving
Indian characters and references virtually every book that qualifies
as an Indian-related mystery. Browne's analysis includes works
of native and non-native authors and murder mysteries both on
and off the reservation.
Ray Browne is
the leading scholar in popular culture studies in the United
States and coeditor of his signature series, Ray and Pat Browne
Books. His most recent works include The
Guide to United States Popular Culture, with coeditor

of popular culture at Bowling Green State University.
Review
"In Murder on the Reservation, Ray B. Browne
surveys the work of all the best-known writers of crime fiction
involving Indian characters, and references virtually every book
that qualifies as an Indian-related mystery. Browne believes
that within the genre of crime fiction, all people are created
equal, and the increasing role of Indian characters in criminal
fiction proves what an important role this genre plays as a powerful
democratizing force in American society."
