The hundred mile view

CRIME & MYSTERY. A crime thriller set on the Navajo Nation for fans of Tony Hillerman, Craig Johnson and Robert B. Parker. Agent Jake Keller transfers to a one-man duty station in Gallup, New Mexico from FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., with the hope that his soon to be ex-wife--an ambitious Navajo FBI agent--will return to the Navajo reservation so he can win her back. His struggles to fit in as an outsider on the Big Reservation are soon overshadowed by two horrific murders in quick succession. An old man and a teenage girl are found bound and burned alive in ritualistic fire pits some seventy miles apart. Many believe it's the work of skinwalkers--the shapeshifters of Navajo lore. But Keller suspects it has something to do with a notorious crystal meth dealer known as the Shaman. Word on the reservation is that the Shaman hasn't slept in thirty days and has convinced his disciples that the shadow people are real and can only be vanquished with fire.
