Spirit Sickness reunites Bureau of Indian Affairs Criminal Investigator Emmett Quanah Parker and FBI Special Agent Anna Turnipseed  two Native American cops torn between their heritage and the law.  A burned-out police cruiser  gutted by fire in a remote part of the Navajo reservation  bears witness to a horrific crime. Inside are the bodies of a tribal patrolman and his wife. Even more chilling  the bodies were left to greet death in the traditional Navajo way: the killer has smashed a window to let loose the chindis  the spirits of the dead.  As BIA Investigator Emmett Quanah Parker knows  a cops murder is never simple  raising countless questions and suspicions. Parker and FBI Special Agent Anna Turnipseed must make their way through a tangle of lies and misdirection  sift through an assortment of suspects  and work around the sexual tension between them that neither can hide nor ignore. Then another murder complicates the case even more  exploding their investigation into an unimaginable realm.  The latest killing makes it clear that an inhumanly cunning mind is at work  weaving personal madness with a complex mix of Navajo mythology and superstition. Both Parker  a Comanche  and Turnipseed  a Modoc  are well acquainted with the eerie shadowland between native myth and modern homicide investigation. But now they will have to tear down the barriers they have constructed to separate heritage from professional duties. They must embrace the attitudes they have long submerged under cold rationalism  and hope to touch minds with a murderer who has created his own reality-and with it the need to kill and kill again.  Following a serpentine trail through Navajo gangs and methamphetamine runners  Parker and Turnipseed are on the scent of a cold and ancient evil. And they must find it before a killer erupts in a final outburst of blood fury and madness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45953332150325,"sku":"ByrdShop_0553108948","price":26.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780553108941.jpg?v=1788185470","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/spirit-sickness-9780553108941","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
