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.

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.

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.

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
