A New Mexico PI tries to stop a cult leader's murderous rampage in "a fascinating hybrid of detective story, adventure yarn, and shamanistic magic." -Kirkus Reviews
The world-famous International Balloon Fiesta of Albuquerque is one of the city's most eagerly anticipated annual events and its biggest moneymaker. But when a woman plunges to her death from one of the balloons-foreshadowed by Sonny Baca's vision of a body plummeting from the sky-Sonny's sure it's murder.
The dead woman was the chief witness to testify against the cult implicated in the murder-for-hire of Sonny's cousin Gloria, whose death still haunts him. In addition to motive, Sonny finds means and opportunity: a homeless family who saw someone push Veronica Worthy out of the hot-air balloon. Worthy was one of the four wives of Raven, leader of the sun cult, and a dangerous, shamanlike criminal who's supposed to be dead. But the four black feathers found on the corpse are his calling card-clues to let Sonny know he's alive and kicking. And his murder spree isn't over. Now, led by his spirit guides, Sonny must race to stop a vengeful madman and save the woman he loves.
From the American Book Award-winning author, this is "a completely entertaining mystery novel [that] offers two parallel lands of enchantment" (Booklist).

Pressezitat
“This is a completely entertaining mystery novel, but Anaya actually offers two parallel lands of enchantment. One is temporal New Mexico; the other is Nuevo Mexicano, a land of santos, milagros, spirits, visions, and even brujas (witches). It’s a land of old ways, old values, and old wisdom. And it’s a land where small farms and multigenerational families are fast being wiped out by modernity.” —Booklist“Colorful visuals, sensuous descriptions, and the mythic clash of good and evil result in a thrilling adventure.” —Library Journal
“The conventions of the mystery [are] a portal to another sort of mystery. A fascinating hybrid of detective story, adventure yarn, and shamanistic magic.” —Kirkus Reviews
