Publisher Description
In the tradition of Tony Hillerman and Joseph Wambaugh comesKirk Mitchell's latest suspense thriller, which reunites Bureau of Indian Affairs Criminal Investigator Emmett Quanah Parker and FBI Special Agent Anna Turnipseed, two Native American cops torn between their heritage and the law.
A fire-gutted police cruiser found in a remote part of the Navajo reservation bears the bodies of a tribal patrolman and his wife. Parker and Turnipseed know a cop's murder is never simple, raising countless questions and suspicions. When another murder is discovered, the case explodes into an otherworldly realm.
Both Parker, a Comanche, and Turnipseed, a Modoc, are well acquainted with the eerie shadow land between native myth and modern homicide investigation. Now they will have to touch minds with a murderer who has woven personal madness with Navajo myth to create his own reality—and with it, the need to kill and kill again.

"Well written, historically correct, and an engrossing read. Mitchell writes characters with whom I can identify with and feel for - even the ones I love to hate. I look forward to walking with Anna on her trip through darkness - and out the other side."

" I started listening to this and finally realized the gorey stuff and not very nice language just wasn't worth the listening time. It did get me through the usual Saturday night housework though. Stopping on chapter 14. "

" One of my favorites ! "

" Pretty good, although I'd say it kind of fell apart at the end. And I don't really get the relationship between Emmett and Anna. But good suspense and interesting details made it worthwhile. I'll definitely read another in this series. "
