Deception on All Accounts
Is murder always a simple transaction? Don't bank on it.
Sadie Walela's life is about to be turned upside down.
One morning Sadie unlocks the door at the Mercury Savings Bank and confronts a robber who's been lying in wait for her and her fellow employees. He flees after stealing money and killing her coworker. When a whirlwind of events leaves Sadie herself under suspicion, she sets out to clear her name.
This banker turned sleuth is suddenly plunged into an unfamiliar world in which people are not always as they appear-not her employer, not the homeless man she's befriended, not the police officer who takes an interest in the case, not the man she falls in love with. And, as she's beginning to imagine, not even herself.
Sadie is a blue-eyed Cherokee living in northeastern Oklahoma, a half-blood who finds she sometimes has to adapt to get by in the white man's world, much as her father's ancestors did. In this story of robbery, murder, love, and intrigue, she faces adversity at each bend in the road, but in the tradition of her people she adapts and moves forward-even if it means having to re-think her relationships and expectations.
Set against the backdrop of small-town Oklahoma and its Native culture,Deception on All Accountsdraws readers into the real lives of contemporary American Indians as it shines a light on violence, corporate corruption, and prejudice in modern America. As Sadie Walela comes to terms with murder, romance, and her hopes for a career, she finds deception on all accounts.

Misdeeds of Arthur Swain, Polite Crook: He Biographs a Bank
[...]it is manifestly a work of fiction. While most early film fiction involving crime has the camera revealing the telltale incident, in McMasters' story it is in a sense the converse, with the film activity hiding a crime, for here a film production is organised as a ploy to mask a bank robbery. \"Show the gentleman in Frank,\" said the president, and a moment later Arthur Swain was ushered into the palatial private office of the bank's chief executive.
