Title: Mine work
First published: 1999
Description: "When Markus Cottin begins pulling out some of the family mysteries, his father tells him he will find only "a chain of fools, each one worse than the one that came before." His search takes him to Colorado mining towns, to the Navajo reservation, and around the desert Four Corners region, and the tale he turns up is a shameful one of race politics and union troubles of the 1950s.

When he finds his own family involved in bombings and the murder of a Navajo man, he won't stop pursuing it till the story leads him link by link to his grandfather, his father, and ultimately back to himself."--BOOK JACKET.
