A marvelous mystery. I look forward to more and and sharing with my library patrons.

The protagonist of this compelling mystery is unusual: Philip McGuire is neither above-it-all Hero nor forget-it-all Anti-hero. Instead, he is quite simply human: somewhat disfigured and disabled by Hezbollah torture, a man seeking peace, home, "Heaven on earth." Instead, he is a trouble magnet, not for himself but for troubled others, especially women. At our first encounter, he is incapacitated from a beating incurred while protecting a young Chinese lady; and charging himself with protection for this woman and a Navajo college coed.

As an enticing backdrop to this plot is the Navajo Creation Story and the obsession of a generational Navajo witch to recreate the planet to restore the true way of life to the People (the Navajo).

Very interesting book. Couldn't put it down. Great story line. Love the characters. Look forward to reading more of Randy's books. Would recommend it to others.
