Publisher's Synopsis
Like edgy Westerns? A 2017 NaNoWriMo winner. Meet Max Storm Shadow, back country problem solver. Her latest job has links to a cold case. One that seems to hit way too close to home. "Death's Treacherous Trail" can be read on its own. It is the first book of the Amazing Storm Shadow series. A captivating melange of Native American life, western adventure, thriller and mystery set in the twenty first century American Southwest right next to the Mexican border wall. The Lost Apaches have a culture which encompasses both sides of the border, with all the danger and intrigue that cross border life entails. A sprawling tapestry enriched by colorful language and enticing multi-ethnic characters. *** Max is a young Apache rancher who is a member of the Lost Apaches clan of the Sierra Madre of Mexico. She lives in border adjacent Southeastern Arizona, has her own mind and takes great pride in her heritage. Not fond of the paperwork which is required to become an official detective; she calls herself a back county problem solver and does things her way. Her first job is too close to home, but also far flung. The Mexican border is just a few miles away. It's a land rife with drug smugglers and homeland security. And has ground and aerial surveillance from both. Not exactly the home of the free, but it's her clan's traditional home. And she's Apache. As it has been for her people during the last four centuries, freedom is still elusive. She's made her stand on the family's cattle ranch. And is determined to defend it. Death's Treacherous Trail is an action-packed contemporary Western. A cow country adventure liberally sprinkled with humor, good looking men and sexy women. A great novel for fans of Anne & Tony Hillerman's Navajo Mysteries and Craig Johnson's Longmire series.
