A week later, on Pamela's reserve — nearby Coyote River First Nation — some boys discover Rose's body lying in a field. Two hunting arrows protrude from her back. Because a land-claim protest is raging at the border between the reserve and Ewing, a neighbouring town, the police wonder: are the two deaths connected? And could a racial tit-for-tat be behind them?
Meanwhile in Oakville, Sol becomes a suspect in Pamela's murder. He begins his own investigation — to avoid prosecution but more so to find Pamela's killer: he had tried to help the young scholarship student deal with Rose's racist slurs and pranks. So it's a big problem that Sol, a binge-drinking alcoholic, remembers nothing from the night Pamela died. The Halton Region police know he spent time in prison for aggravated assault. They're also aware he knew Pamela. With no alibi, Sol is desperate to find the truth behind the killings.
But Sol also wonders about the truth of Pamela and Rose's rocky relationship. He hopes they might have reached a mutual respect — even grudgingly — before they died. He finds Pamela's diary, and it may provide the answer.”
