Thriller, Mystery

Mystery, history and love set against the spectacular landscape of Monument Valley on the Navajo Indian Reservation. This tightly plotted contemporary romantic suspense will keep readers turning pages as lapsed socialite Amanda Bell travels to this remote desert to fulfill her deceased father's last wish—deliver and archive his Southwest literary collection, a gift to the fledgling Navajo Cultural Center.

To Durango Yazzie, the Center's intensely driven Navajo director, her arrival is an intrusive reminder to an already superstitious community of her father's dead body somewhere in the desert never properly put to rest. Their courage and ideals are tested as they unearth unsavory truths from the past involving missing antiquities, rumors of scandal, secretive teenagers who spend too much time in the desert, a scheming small town newspaper editor who knows everything but tells nothing, and a menacing presence watching their every move.

Re: The Charmstone

Oh my, C.C.! I have apparently missed out on some awesome writing. I will definitely be looking to buy The Charmstone tomorrow! Thank you Fresh Fiction for reviewing C. C. Harrison so I could find her!
