The Past is another country. They do things differently there.DEADFALL-Stand alone book number twelve in Chappell's Navajo Nation Mystery series tracks Charlie Yazzie, Thomas Begay, and Harley Ponyboy into unfamiliar territory. When a family member unexpectedly dies, a debilitating sense of loss overcomes our friends on the reservation. The ties that have bound them begin to unravel. What witch's evil is at work? Is the bond forever broken? Or is there a connection to the ancient past that might bring this malevolent aura to an end?
Sequel to the Amazon best seller Wolves of Winter the continuing story of the Anasazi Swallow Clan's effort to escape their destiny on the Colorado Plateau. Thomas Begay's son Caleb comes under the mystical spell of the ancient people, seeming to channel their desperate migration to a new home. Family members look on and fear for his sanity.Meanwhile, Harley Ponyboy's new wife Celia is targeted by a forgotten ex-husband who has murdered once and might again. Thomas and Harley set out to corral the killer but are in for a surprise that no one saw coming. Such is the continuing saga of life on the Dinétah. 1084 A.D. Those three down there... They are no older than us. Yet they are anxious to prove themselves by taking our hair. He unslings the bow at his back and declares. I will not run from such as these mongrels. They are not better than us. We will teach all of them a lesson at the same time. One none of them will soon forget.
The younger boy cautiously looks down to the river, then licking his lips, asks nervously, How do you propose we go about that, cousin? They outnumber us and are fresh and well fed, while we are already tired and have had little to eat.
Ah, but we have lived all our lives in the cliffs. Our people are famous climbers. It is what we do. We have been preparing for this day all our lives. He smiles, noting, Not having eaten will leave us in better wind and more agile for the climb back up. ...
