Someone cry for the children: The unsolved Girl Scout murders of Oklahoma and the case of Gene Leroy Hart

June 1977. Three young Girl Scouts are horribly murdered on their first night of summer camp. The prime suspect is a legendary Cherokee outlaw who is said to use "black" medicine to hide himself deep in the Oklahoma hills. The two brothers sent to capture Gene Leroy Hart share their fugitive's Cherokee heritage, and call on other medicine men to help bring him in... And in a chilling struggle that goes beyond good and evil, in the most extraordinary manhunt and murder trial of our time, the white man's law and the Indian way clash irrevocably, leaving far more than three deaths unsolved and unexplained. — from book's back cover
