When an outside evil preys on the people she's charged to protect, will she sacrifice everything to keep them safe?
Members of the Fire-Sky tribe have disappeared without a trace, but no one takes notice except a young woman who turns up dead by suicide. Pueblo Police Sergeant Nicky Matthews is assigned to the case, but nothing adds up ... until the suicide becomes a murder to hide the trail of a killer connected to dozens of missing tribe members.
As Nicky delves deeper, she discovers a chilling threat that strikes at the very heart of what it means to be Fire-Sky: the missing were murdered because of their ancestry, and, in a vengeful twist, the killer ensures the spirits of those taken will wander forever, lost to their People.
With a hostile captain, interference by a politically powerful ex-lover, and a burgeoning relationship with an undercover agent investigating the murders, Nicky doesn't know who she can trust. And when those closest to her are put in jeopardy, Nicky must be willing to sacrifice everything to save the people she loves.
"Narrator Laura Jennings believably delivers the intonations of a number of Native American characters in this mystery...Overall, Jennings's reserved tone and low pitch give a note of solemnity and respect to a culture that has been historically marginalized." — AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner
