A thousand years ago a people’s blood was shed on this parched earth. Now the dying has begun again.

High on a desert ridge, The Watcher awaits....

The body in the arroyo belonged to a man who’d made his living plundering ancient Indian sites. And the only witness to the crime would not change his story: a demon had killed his friend.

Sheriff Cliff Lansing has an unexplained death on his hands, and it’s only the beginning. In Las Palmas, New Mexico, a US senator is on his way to meet a Zuni shaman who is holding up a land swap involving 150,000 acres in New Mexico and Arizona. Backed by a powerful businessman, the senator intends to push the deal through. But in a long, dark night on the high desert, he is led into a storm of violence and shame.

Now Sheriff Lansing is headed out to the Anasazi Strip, where the truth awaits him—in the swirling dust of magic, greed, and murder.

A different sort of detective novel Would recommend if you like a ‘western’ slant to your crime thriller

This is well narrated though the story is fairly pedestrian. Fine for in the background while you decorate a room 🙂

Good narration

Enjoyed this book very much. It was very interesting in it's historical content and an exciting story. The narrator was very good in his ability to swap easily from male to female characters, and his somewhat deadpan way of narrating the rest of the material, I found, kind of suited the book. I'm looking forward to listening to other books in this series read by this narrator.

Interesting and exciting

A cracking good story and well read.
If you're missing Longmire then this is a good substitute along similar but not too similar, lines.

It's not Longmire good but it is good.
