Margaret Coel (born October 11, 1937, in Denver, Colorado) is an American historian and mystery writer who lives in Boulder, Colorado. Coel is a fourth-generation Coloradan and grew up in Denver.[1] She graduated in journalism from Marquette University in 1960 and worked on the Boulder Daily Camera.[2] Coel has received six Colorado Book Awards and one WILLA Literary Award.[3]
This series—20 books published from 1995 to 2016—is set in Wyoming's Wind River Reservation and adjacent towns.[4] The story lines are based on actual crimes and injustices.[5] Vicky Holden, an Arapaho lawyer, and Father John O'Malley, a Jesuit priest, collaborate to solve the crimes and rectify the injustices.
