Description

In December, 1998, San Antonio Express-News reporter Philip True vanished during a solo backcountry trek in western Mexico, home of the reclusive Huichol Indians. Five days later his editor, Robert Rivard, was part of a small search party that, nearly miraculously, found his body. Trail of Feathers is the story of the search for True and of the quest to bring his killers to justice. It is also the story of another perplexing mystery: why had True taken such a dangerous trip in the first place Suspenseful, atmospheric, and moving, Trail of Feathers is more than a true crime tale; its a classic tragedy about how the past reverberates destructively into the present.
