About
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.
"Intriguing…Mitchell makes the most of Navajo mythology and the landscape of the Southwest."
"Darker, grittier, and more satisfying than Hillerman's work…Spirit Sickness reads fast, runs true, and keeps you guessing."
"Mitchell pulls out all the stops…Mitchell [is] a powerful writer of deep emotions, breathtaking natural beauty, and nail-biting suspense."
"A high-octane thriller in the Thomas Harris mold…The climactic scene…will leave readers gasping for breath."
"Fans of Tony Hillerman and the Thurlos will want to read Spirit Sickness, a thriller that captures the identity of the Navajo Nation. Kirk Mitchell is a talented storyteller."
"A tough, hard-hitting story…a winner."
