Last of the Dogmen

A tracker in Montana is hired to pursue three escaped convicts into the mountains. He finds no men, only signs of violence and an arrow that seems out of place. Unable to convince the local sheriff, he seeks out an anthropologist and history professor, Lillian Sloan, who identifies the arrow as a type associated with Cheyenne warriors long thought to have disappeared from history after a nineteenth-century massacre. The two return to the wilderness together, looking for answers and for evidence that a group may have survived in isolation. What begins as a manhunt becomes a search for a people who, if they exist, have every reason to stay hidden.
