Bone Walker is more than a murder mystery, it is a psychological thriller filled with the action that has made this the dynamic duo of the historical.
Eight hundred years have passed since the Mogollon holy man was murdered in Flowing Waters Town.

But in so doing, Dusty will root out disturbing secrets about his own past that will cast his father's suicide in an unsettling light. With so many skeletons in the closet, even a bone expert like Maureen can be baffled...and the Wolf Witch is two steps ahead of them, drawing them relentlessly into his trap...
From the national award-winning archaeologists and international bestselling authors of The Visitant and The Summoning God comes a novel of unforgettable terror about a murder in America eight hundred years ago...and a power that transcends time.
