Mystery | Suspense
Winner of the Tony Hillerman Prize In John
Fortunato's Dark Reservations, Bureau of Indian
Affairs Special Agent Joe Evers still mourns the death of
his wife and, after a bungled investigation, faces a forced
early retirement. What he needs is a new career, not another
case. But when Congressman Arlen Edgerton's bullet-riddled
Lincoln turns up on the Navajo reservation---twenty years
after he had disappeared during a corruption probe---Joe
must resurrect his failing career to solve the mysterious
cold case. Partnering with Navajo Tribal Officer
Randall Bluehorse, his investigation antagonizes potential
suspects, including a wealthy art collector, a former
president of the Navajo Nation, a powerful U.S. senator, and
Edgerton's widow, who is now the front-runner in the New
Mexico governor's race. An unexpected romance further
complicates both the investigation and Joe's troubled
relationship with his daughter, forcing him to confront his
emotional demons while on the trail of a ruthless
killer. Joe uncovers a murderous conspiracy that leads
him from ancient Anasazi burial grounds on the Navajo Nation
to backroom deals in Washington, D.C. Along the way, he
delves into the dangerous world of black market trade in
Native American artifacts. Can he unravel the mystery and
bring the true criminal to justice, or will he become
another silenced victim?
