"Fans of the late Tony Hillerman will embrace Ault's outstanding third mystery to feature Jamaica Wild, a resource agent for the Bureau of Land Management in Taos, N.M. (after 2008's Wild Inferno). When Jamaica seeks shelter during a blizzard in Pueblo Pea at the abandoned San Pedro de Arbus Indian School for her injured horse, Rooster, and her wolf companion, Mountain, she stumbles on a terrifying sight — the frozen corpse of Cassie Morgan, a strangled Anglo woman from whose neck hangs a sign in red crayon that reads 'I am not an Indian.' Though Jamaica is horrified to learn that Cassie was a former school matron 'remembered for depriving, humiliating, and beating the Indian children,' she continues to help the FBI investigation into what is deemed a hate crime. Outraged by Jamaica's interference, the twisted killer targets both Jamaica and Mountain. Ault's wildlife expertise and knowledge of Tanoah culture enhance a poignant plot."
