About
The New York Times–bestselling author creates "a fascinating amalgam of sf/detective fiction and Native American lore" (Library Journal).
A wealthy industrialist and folk art collector is murdered in his home and left beneath where a painting had been hanging. But theft is not the motive. The artwork-a Navajo sandpainting-has been completed pulverized. And no blood was found at the scene.
Assigned to the case is bulldog detective Vernon Moody-sent to Arizona to investigate. It's an unfamiliar environment for the born-and-bred southerner: dry air, altitude, and a booming economy spurred by high-tech manufacturing on the reservations. Still ancient superstitions linger, suggesting a motive for the crime. There is magic in traditional sandpaintings-a power that, when paired with technology, could unleash forces beyond human control . . .
