Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the tradition of Tony Hillerman and Joseph Wambaugh comes this suspense thriller reuniting Bureau of Indian Affairs Criminal Investigator Emmett Quanah Parker and FBI Special Agent Anna Turnipseed, two Native American cops torn between their heritage and the law. <BR>A fire-gutted police cruiser found in a remote part of the Navajo reservation bears witness to a horrific crime: inside are the bodies of a tribal patrolman and his wife. As BIA Investigator Emmett Parker and FBI Special Agent Anna Turnipseed know, a cop's murder is never simple, raising countless questions and suspicions. <BR>When another murder is discovered, the case explodes into an otherworldly realm. Both Parker, a Comanche, and Turnipseed, a Modoc, are well acquainted with the eerie shadowland between native myth and modern homicide investigation. Now they will have to touch minds with a murderer who has woven personal madness with Navajo myth to create his own reality — and with it the need to kill and kill again.

Review:

"Intriguing...Mitchell makes the most of Navajo mythology and the landscape of the Southwest."
- Chicago Tribune

Review:

"Darker, grittier, and more satisfying than Hillerman's work...Spirit Sickness reads fast, runs true, and keeps you guessing."
- Weekly Alibi, Albuquerque
