When a hurricane upends their lives in Florida, Julie and Ben Pecos decide the time is right to return to New Mexico, the place where they met and the ancestral home to Ben's extended family at Tewa Pueblo.
After several years of sharing custody of his son with his ex, Ben is hoping to come to an arrangement where his sons, Zac and Nathan, can spend more time with the New Mexico side of the family. But Raven, his bitter ex-girlfriend, has other ideas. She raised Zac on her own for ten years before Ben came into the picture and can't see any reason why that should change. On their first night in Albuquerque, they argue about it. The next day, there's a tragic accident on the highway to Tewa Pueblo, and it's discovered the brakes on Raven's car were tampered with. And suddenly, Ben becomes a suspect.
Can they use Julie's experience as an investigative reporter and Ben's expertise in psychology to find out who really had it in for Raven Takanni, and can the couple clear Ben's name before their hopeful new future disappears forever?
Praise for the Ben Pecos series, by Susan Slater and Connie Shelton:
... Ben Pecos-raised far from New Mexico's Tewa Pueblo-could become as lasting a fictional presence as Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. - Chicago Tribune
A wonderful book with loveable heroes. -Library Journal
A gripping novel. We hope it's the first of many.-Tony Hillerman
(on The Pumpkin Seed Massacre)
Shelton has again done a superb job in bringing New Mexico to life. -Albuquerque Journal
