Bone Walker: Book III of the Anasazi Mysteries
Nearly a millennium ago, the Anasazi ruled the cliffs and canyons of New  Mexico with a rich, vibrant culture that disappeared as mysteriously as it  arose. The link between the 800-year-old murder of an Anasazi holy man and the  ritual death of archaeologist Dusty Stewart's beloved mentor drive this rich  tapestry of a novel, which moves almost seamlessly between the past and the  present to its riveting conclusion. But long before that happens, the reader is  drawn into the hunt for a wolf witch that resonates down the centuries,  unearthing not only the secrets and relics of an ancient world but also those of  Dusty's past--his father's suicide, his mother's desertion, the existence of a  sister he never knew, and the reappearance of the woman whose tangled love life  set a series of bloody crimes in motion. Archaeologists themselves, the authors  bring the past to life with skill and verisimilitude in this terrific story.--Jane Adams
