Description
Burnt-out foreign correspondent Phillip McGuire, who gave up journalism, is now happy owning and running a bar in Lawrence, Kansas. He's happy with his new house in the country. But he's not happy. When two Navajo female students are missing from Haskell Indian college, he agrees to shelter a third. And then a mysterious beautiful Chinese woman stumbles into his life. And all the while, Coyote is working on the largest sandpainting ever created and advancing his plan to reopen the gates to the Navajo's Holy People.

A marvelous mystery. I look forward to more and and sharing with my library patrons.
Mallory Anne-Marie H, Reviewer
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).
