Podrobnosti o e‑knize

An Osage Indian PI investigates human remains and strange happenings at a construction site in the New York Times–bestselling author’s paranormal mystery.

Jennifer Talldeer is Osage and Cherokee, granddaughter of a powerful Medicine Man. She walks a difficult path: contrary to tribal custom, she is learning a warrior’s magics. A freelance private investigator, Jennifer also tracks down stolen Native American artifacts.

The construction of a new shopping mall uncovers fragments of human bone, revealing possible desecration of an ancient burial ground. Meanwhile, the sabotage of construction equipment at the site implicates many activists—particularly Jennifer’s old flame, who is more attractive and dangerous than ever. Worst of all, the grave of Jennifer’s legendary Medicine Man ancestor has been destroyed, his tools of power scattered, and a great evil freed to walk the land.

Now Jennifer must make peace with the many factions—both here and in the spirit realm—and solve the mystery of her ancestor’s grave before the world falls into oblivion.

“This is page-turning, spine-tingling stuff.” —Booklist
