Hour of the Hunter: 1 (Walker Family Mysteries) - Softcover
A critically acclaimed master of suspense, J. A. Jance, the New York Times bestselling author of Fire and Ice, transports readers into the beauty and mystery of the American Southwest . . . and into the very heart of terror.
The hunter is free to kill again--and hour by hour, he draws nearer . . .
The brilliant psychopath Andrew Carlisle spent only six years in prison for the brutal torture-murder of a young girl of the Tohono O'odham tribe. The testimony of Diana Ladd--a teacher on the reservation--put Carlisle behind bars, and now she can't ignore the dark, mystical signs that say a predator has returned to prowl the Arizona desert. Because no matter where Diana and her young son hide . . . he will find them.

Much of this book comes from my own history.
My first non-series book, HOTH reflects some of my own history as a librarian on an Indian reservation. The Native American stories and legends are the real Tohono O'othham legends I learned as a story teller on the reservation. This book would appeal to readers who enjoy Tony Hillerman, although my regular fans should be advised that this is an "R" rather than a "PG-13" read.
