Sherman Alexie’s Indian Killer (1996) rewrites the traditional framework of
crime fiction by using Native American culture-specific and postmodern literary
devices such as fragmentation, intertextuality, irony, and dark humour. The
story revolves around a series of brutal murders in Seattle attributed to the so
called Indian Killer. The murderer receives the moniker from the media because
the victims are scalped, and owl feathers are found at the crime scenes. An
omniscient third-person narrator reveals crucial details and leaves readers to play
the role of detective, tasked with unravelling the mystery and determining the
true identity of the Indian Killer.
