Publisher's summary

In a rugged land steeped in the blood of history, a killer has come back for revenge. New blood on an ancient ground....

In an air-conditioned university office, a man lies dead, brutally bludgeoned. A hundred miles away, in the high, arid New Mexico mountain country that Sheriff Cliff Lansing is sworn to protect, an animal is devastating ranchers' livestock, and is now turning to human prey....

For Lansing, the two cases are linked. The murder victim was part of an archaeological dig, and a local Indian believes that the animal killings have been unleashed by the excavations. Struggling to put together the jagged pieces of a puzzle, Lansing unearths a mystery of a missing emerald carving, a hundred-year-old diary, and a man accused of a crime he did not commit. 

To stop the bloodshed, Lansing must throw out everything he has ever believed about police work, evidence, and reason. Because between an archaeologist's ambitions and the secrets still hidden in the land, Lansing must follow his own trail of myth, legend, and intuition - to find a very real killer stalking the night.

great

What a story. Had my attention focused on story line, characters and their actions. Hard to stop listenin

More legend’s

Another story full of Indian legends. Enjoyed as much as the previous three books. Getting ready to start book five.

Mysteries. Legends, History

A view of history and legends, very informative , connecting the Mayan tribes with the North American Indians rapped in a good story.
Enjoy

Very interesting. Makes you think.

The book with the narrative makes for time well spent. Makes you want to go exploring.

playback issues

The story is as enjoyable as all the others from this author but there is a playback issue between chapters, towards the end of the book the pause between chapters gets longer and longer and then the beginning sentence of the next chapter gets cut off more and more. not enough that I couldn't follow the story but it was annoying.

mystical action

this book was action packed not in the same way as the last one but in a more mystical way. there is a lot more academic details about history than the last ones.
my complaint is still the narrator doesn't seem to have much range in voices.

good story, poor narration

Narrator was bad. he had almost no inflection in his voice for the most dramatic parts of the story. his pronunciation of Spanish words was awful.

Excellent series

great story line and lead character, sheriff Lansing. awesome detail about the native Indian tribes and traditional stories. Each book weaves the story line with the cultural background.

I Loved it

Interesting, Mystery and a little romance all rolled into this marvelous book. This book is part of a series that are very well written. Well worth sharing and look forward to finding more from this author.

The Dark Canyon

Excellent story about the Navaho nation, the Apaches and the ancient Anasazi cliff dwellers, taking place in both modern and old western times. It’s all tied together very well at the end of the story

Poor

Pretty poor
Far to much detail about the ancient tribes
Silly story wish I had quit earlier
