Jon Hickey's Big Chief follows Mitch Caddo, a young law school graduate and aspiring political fixer, as he returns to his tribal community in the tense days leading up to a high‑stakes election. Caught between factions, family expectations, and his own ambition, Mitch has to decide what kind of future he is actually working toward and who he is willing to stand with. Sharp, tense, and darkly funny, the novel tracks backroom deals, shifting alliances, and the emotional cost of trying to belong in a place where history, power, and identity are always on the table. WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Hickey writes about tribal politics and belonging with urgency and bite, turning a local election into a pressure cooker about who gets to define community. This is for readers who want contemporary fiction that is political without being preachy, and character‑driven without looking away from power.
