Product Description
Product Description
A bizarre murder leaves two teenagers dead in a desert arroyo, their naked bodies side by side, face up under the New Mexican sun. Near them, etched in stone, is a symbol unlike any Native American marking. What does it signify? The puzzle is made to order for Mo Bowdre's quirky and capacious intelligence. But Bowdre, a wildlife sculptor and occasional sleuth, may be in over his head, as he becomes embroiled in a possible case of ritual killing--and a certain malice. . . .

A great Mo Bowdre story...but the plot is left hanging
14 April 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoy the Bowdre character immensely, and his meeting with a girl who claims to be his illegitimate daughter is an interesting one. However, other subplots (which start off as primary plots) are left unresolved or slammed shut with an announcement "they caught the guy who did it." It just seemed like a hasty wrap-up with no explanation or resolution on that part of the book. Mo does find out more about his daughter than he ever expected.
Tragedies of madness revealed with style and compassion.
24 Aug 1998
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The story begins with a poeticly captivating and respectful description of a Hopi kiva ceremony. What a contrast to the cruel beliefs and rituals that lure Mo Bowdre into a perplexing and dangerous pursuit of truth. I continue to enjoy the caring and understanding relationship between Mo and his companion, Connie. Mo's efforts to deal with the complexities and responsibilities of an unexpected relationship were compelling. Jake Page is dealing with some gruesome and very tragic situations; but, he knows just when to lighten the mood by interjecting elements of humor and humility. I recommend this book highly.
