In this gripping Ella Clah mystery, the Navajo Tribal Police detective must race against time to find a missing FBI agent and uncover a web of fraud and sacred secrets.
When FBI agent Andrew Thomas disappears after interrupting a Navajo ritual, area supervisor Simmons reluctantly turns to Ella Clah for help. Despite his doubts about Ella's capabilities, she is determined to find the missing man, even if it means questioning her own brother, a hataalii medicine man.
As Ella digs deeper, a disturbing phone call from Thomas himself reveals he is trapped and injured. With time running out, Ella follows a trail of Social Security fraud that leads her through a maze of paperwork, banks, government offices, and mortuaries - and straight into the heart of the Navajos' most sacred beliefs about death.
Ella must confront her own past and the pettiness of those around her as she unravels a mystery that threatens not only Thomas's life, but the traditions of her people. In White Thunder, Aimée and David Thurlo deliver a taut, suspenseful tale that blends Navajo culture, complex relationships, and the unforgiving Southwest landscape in a race to solve a shocking crime.
