Indian Killer is by Sherman Alexie. A creepy, yet mesmerizing, tale of murder, prejudice, and hatred. John Smith is an Indian who was adopted by white parents as an infant. As he grows up he can't seem to find his place in the white world; his mental illness doesn't help. John, and a variety of beautifully written characters, become involved in the hunt for a serial killer in Seattle who is killing and scalping white people. Dubbed the "Indian Killer" by the police, he/she has created a firestorm of violence that sweeps through the city and engulfs every character in a unique way. A masterfully written book, Alexie does a great job of making you step inside a dark and brooding world.
