"A moody, hard-edged study of the modern Southwest...Full of finely etched moments and telling details that highlight its intriguing characters and complicated relationships."
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
A powerfully built wildlife-sculptor, Mo Bowdre (here in his series debut) is also blind. But that doesn't stop him from pursuing the truth when a major dealer in Native American art is murdered. In the wreckage of the dead man's elegant gallery, several curious drawings and a record of regular phone calls to someone in Singapore support the FBI's belief that this crime is related to another just as devastating: the theft of Hopi deities, potent and dangerous--sacred objects on which the integrity of tribal life greatly depends.
Mo Bowdre and Connie Barnes, his Anglo-Hopi girlfriend, at first merely curious about the case, soon have some very personal reasons for finding the culprit....

About the Author:
Jake Page is the author or coauthor of more than thirty books of fiction, science, and history. He lives in Lyons, Colorado.
From Kirkus Reviews:
Introducing blind Santa Fe sculptor Mo Bowdre, who has to compete with a bevy of other detectives to track down the Hopi kachinas stolen from the Meyers gallery the night unscrupulous owner Walter Meyers was killed. Assistant manager Marianna del Massimo has set aging British tenor Nigel Calderwood on the case too, and FBI agent Larry Collins is following lowlife athletic coach Willie Blaine, who sure acts as if he's got a truckload of something valuable, on a merry chase across the state. But the competition is no match for Mo's sense of smell, which comes up with a solution as logical as it is unlikely. Veteran author Page (Demon State, etc., etc.) writes with a slyly lazy charm that keeps the Hopi lore under control in this laid-back sabbatical for Tony Hillerman fans. -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP.
