A ritual murder on the Navajo reservation tests an FBI agent's loyalties in this captivating mystery.
In Blackening Song, the first novel in Aimée and David Thurlo's award-winning mystery series, Ella Clah returns to the Navajo reservation to investigate the murder of her father, a minister. The ritualistic nature of the killing makes Ella's brother, a medicine man, the prime suspect.
Without cooperation from the tribe, the FBI, or the local police, Ella must navigate the complex struggle between traditionalist and modernist forces among the Navajo to uncover her father's killer. As she delves deeper into the mystery, Ella finds herself caught between her duty as an FBI agent and her loyalty to her people.
Aimée and David Thurlo, bestselling authors of the Ella Clah series, masterfully weave together a suspenseful police procedural with the rich cultural heritage of the Navajo in this gripping novel set in the heart of New Mexico.
