For the very first time, the Crow spirit has reanimated a woman from the dead to become the enigmatic avenger. Iris Shaw was a federal conservation officer who dies when her office is blown up by a band of radical right-wing terrorists. Her tortured soul cannot rest, especially as those responsible have murdered not only her, but the unborn child she was carrying with her. The native American Indian Crow spirit hears her tortured cry for vengeance and answers it, bringing Iris Shaw back to life as the new Crow. A beautifully rendered and masterfully told tale of violent retribution which unfolds as an orchestrated lament dedicated by Iris Shaw to her own flesh and blood.
