Once a land of Pueblo dwellers, the town of San Geronimo, New Mexico is prime ski country. P.I. Howard Moon Deer and ex-cop Jack Wilder are headed there to meet their first client -- a former U.S. Senator and the ski slope's owner. Instead, they find his body -- and a murder case to solve.

In the deserts of New Mexico, someone has just discovered his inner child . . . and its about to throw a deadly temper tantrum.
When Howard Moon Deer's girlfriend Aria storms from his cabin in the middle of the night, he just considers it another conflict in their tempestuous relationship. But when he finds her Jeep abandoned down the road with no sign of her nearby, his instincts lead him on an investigation that uncovers the dark underbelly of a trendy southwestern town.		 In San Geronimo, New Mexico, the rich and famous mingle with the down and out -- and the secrets of the past collide with the crimes of the present. Shortly after private eye Howard Moon Deer decides to settle down with his latest lady love, he accepts a new case that takes him away from the homefront -- and introduces him to the dangerous passions that drive San Geronimo's thriving art scene.

In San Geronimo, New Mexico, a bizarre murder unearths the ancient secrets of the Anasazi. And rumors of evil flesh-eating spirits run rampant. . . . The murder of an esteemed archaeologist is fueling an already heated war between natives and the academics who excavate their land. And when the coroner confirms that the victim was cannibalized, the story takes a twisted turn..

Praise for the Howard Moon Deer mystery series:

"Terrific . . . I couldn't put it down."

--Margaret Truman, author of Murder at the Watergate

"GHOST DANCER contains the high level energy and hidden dangers of a double black diamond trail. In Robert Westbrook's superb debut novel, Howard Moon Deer, who describes himself as `seeing eye Indian to a blind detective,' and ex-cop Jack Wilder form the savviest, most attractive sleuthing pair since Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin. And Howie Moon Deer is smarter, sexier, and funnier than Archie."

--Carolyn Hart, author of Death on Demand and Henrie O mysteries

"GHOST DANCER is a clever, sexy, distinctly modern mystery with a pair of fascinating detectives: blind ex-cop Jack Wilder and young Howard Moon Deer, a fish-out-of-water Native American who is Jack's eyes (and ears). Imagine a Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin in contemporary New Mexico. I look forward to more adventures from this engaging team."

--Leslie Glass, bestselling author of Judging Time

"Far and away the most engaging mystery story I've read in a long while . . .the story has as many exciting ups and downs as the ski resort in which it is set."

--Thomas Fleming, author of Liberty! The American Revolution

"This one is surefire. I haven't been as engrossed with anything for a very, very long time . . . I want to be the first on the list to read the next one."

--Jack Anderson, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

"This is an awesome debut that has everything I enjoy in a mystery. A solid plot; a New Mexico locale that is so vivid I can feel snow blowing on my face and the cold chilling me to my bones; unique, fully developed protagonists . . . This one is great, a joy to read, a book I not only couldn't put down, but didn't want to put down."

--Eleanor Taylor Bland, author of See No Evil
