This week on the KPL Podcast, we welcome back author Vanessa Lillie to discuss her latest novel, The Bone Thief. This gripping mystery blends history, fiction, and cultural reckoning. In the pre-dawn hours at a local summer camp, Bureau of Indian Affairs archaeologist Syd Walker receives a disturbing call: newly discovered skeletal remains have been stolen. A Native teen girl vanished near the same site—and when law enforcement dismisses her family’s fears, Syd is drawn into a chilling investigation that hits close to home.
