Criminal defense attorney, Molly Malone, has represented the worst of society—from thugs to thieves, Molly has seen it all. But when news of a serial killer’s monstrous appetite for pregnant women reaches her ears, the victim profile hits a little too close to home.

The mutilated victims, all white women involved with Native American men, are found with a bloody red line drawn across their foreheads, an eagle feather in their throats, and…their unborn babies removed.

While the FBI is convinced that the perpetrator is a psychotic Native American, Molly and her new Lakota husband, Cree, are skeptical.

Soon, Molly finds herself representing Joseph Buffalo Horn, a man charged with murder. A rancher like Cree, Joe harbors a deep distrust of whites and a nearly uncontrollable temper—often exploding in a rage while in the courtroom.

With Joe facing the death penalty, Molly becomes convinced that the prosecution has been withholding evidence critical to the case.

While Molly struggles to save Joe’s life, she soon realizes that he may not be the only one in danger.

With her fate, and that of her unborn child now on the line, only one question remains to be answered…

…have they caught the real killer?

“Built from a solid foundation of impeccably defined characters and volatile scenes, author Mary McMahon delivers a tense, enigmatic plot fueled by racial overtones and impassioned dialogue,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “Similar to Harper Lee’s timeless classic, To Kill a Mockingbird, Seeing Red: Tribal Tribulation engages readers in complex societal concerns of class, courage, fear, and retribution.”

Mary M. McMahon is a practicing lawyer and has been actively engaged in criminal law for over seventeen years. She is a member of the bar in several states, federal, and tribal courts, practicing at both the trial and appellate court levels. She became well-known for her representation of Native Americans charged with violent crimes and has assisted tribal governments implementing changes to their criminal court systems. Seeing Red is Ms. McMahon’s second published work. Her first book Once a Warrior was published in 2007. After repeated requests for a sequel from her readers, Seeing Red: Tribal Tribulation was born.
