The Shaman Sings

A Native American Trible Police investigator hunts for the killer of a star grad student in this "magical and tantalizing" mystery series opener (New York Times Book Review).

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year

The shocking death of a female physics student has shattered the peaceful community of Granite Creek, Colorado—and police chief Scott Parris has a hunch he can't even begin to explain. He saw the killing . . .in his dreams.

Daisy Perika experienced the same visions. An aged Ute shaman who lives in a trailer on the lonesome highlands, hers is the realm of the Native American spirit. But Daisy doesn't need scientific proof to know that the student's breakthrough discovery was to kill for. And it isn't over yet.

Parris wants to believe that Daisy can unleash the truth. But will her visions of Coyote and fire make for evidence in a court of law? Now it's up to Parrish and Daisy's nephew, Tribal Police investigator Charlie Moon, to summon the supernatural and seize the killer—before he strikes again . . .
