A Howard Moon Deer Mystery
In San Geronimo, New Mexico, a bizarre murder unearths the ancient secrets of the Anasazi. And rumors of evil flesh-eating spirits run rampant....
The murder of an esteemed archaeologist is fueling an already heated war between natives and the academics who excavate their land. And when the coroner confirms that the victim was cannibalized, the story takes a twisted turn....

And now they must race to solve the crime before fear swallows the town whole....

Great read. Again Westbrook kept me guessing. And the Anasazi history intermingled with the story was really interesting. Anasazi, a very unusual people, with many conflicting theories. I would suggest this book for anyone .
