| Plot Summary of Debt of Conscience |
"With terrorism and violence as a backdrop, Debt of Conscience tells the story of James and Samuel Tall Feather, Native American twin brothers, lawyers expert in Constitutional Law, and spiritual leader John White Eagle, as they mount a compelling case before the Supreme Court in an effort to force return of Native American tribal lands from the U.S. government.
Excitement and suspense ensue as friends Charlie Juarez and Tommy Wild Horse become entangled in the world of terrorism in their attempt to solve the mystery of the devastating siphoning of the Great Lakes of its waters, shutting down the St. Lawrence seaway and all transportation commerce on them.
