About this listen

The Artesian Affair is a riveting mystery set in the heart of the Chickasaw Nation, where ancient springs rise through red earth and secrets run deeper than the water itself. When a retired Air Force colonel dies mysteriously at the historic Artesian Hotel in Sulphur, Oklahoma, Captain Jack "Hawk" Hawkins of the Chickasaw Lighthorse Police is called to investigate what appears to be a routine death. But the scent of rain and the metallic taste in the air tell him otherwise.

As Hawk and Officer Overton unravel the threads of the case, they uncover a web of corruption that stretches from tribal casinos to federal agencies, where loyalty, sovereignty, and justice collide. From the quiet elegance of the Springs restaurant to the hidden corridors of power in Washington, D.C., the investigation reveals a conspiracy rooted in laundering, legacy, and the sacred balance between tradition and progress.

Blending rich historical context with sharp procedural suspense, The Artesian Affair honors the resilience of the Chickasaw people and the enduring spirit of Indian Country. It’s a story where every spring carries memory, and every truth—like water—finds its way.
