A sacred relic. A reverend caught in a deadly ritual. A canyon echoing with betrayal. Reverend Cici Gurule retreats to Chaco Canyon, seeking clarity at a crossroads: accept a prestigious megachurch offer or stay rooted in Santa Fe. But when she interrupts a covert execution and saves a man marked for death, she ignites a lethal chase across sacred land. As bullets fly and loyalties fracture, Cici uncovers a conspiracy tied to a stolen Navajo artifact and ancient secrets carved into stone. Guided by her ghostly twin and ancestral voices, she must decide who to trust before time runs out. A tense, spiritually-charged mystery set against breathtaking landscapes-ideal for fans of Nevada Barr, Tana French, and Julia Spencer-Fleming.
