Reseña del editor
Who-or what-killed Ray Hava, the best Indian kachina doll carver in the country? And how was he killed? Could his death have come from intense superstitious belief? These are only some of the questions facing Police Captain Dominique Rios as his investigation begins inside an Indian Pueblo in modern New Mexico. But instead of answers, he finds only more violence and a string of mysterious events that border on the supernatural and beyond. The ambience of Indian and Spanish Northern New Mexico come vividly to life through a cast of memorable characters: Doc Tapia (what is he hiding?); Ed Cruz (whose side is he really on?); Nee-nee (who is she and where are her parents?); and Marge Rios who shares her husband's involvement and danger. * * * * Teresa VanEtten Pijoan, a native New Mexican, skillfully weaves this story of murder, the occult, and legend that provides the background to present, in fiction, an exciting story of modern life and concerns. She grew up at San Juan Pueblo where she worked in the family-owned trading post. Long familiar with Indian customs and beliefs, she is a well-known speaker and writer and also a translator of Tewa, a Pueblo language. Her "Pueblo Indian Wisdom," "Ways Of Indian Magic," "Granger's Threat," "Healers on the Mountain," "Native American Creation Stories of Family and Friendship," and "American Indian Creation Myths" were also published by Sunstone Press.

Softcover. Condición: Good. First Edition. Review''Ray Hava, the best kachina doll carver in the country, has been murdered, his dead body found in his bed. The ZIA, the police force within the San Jaime Indian Pueblo, called Dominque Rios of the Jerez Police Department, whose jurisdiction was outside of the Pueblo, in for assistance. Ray Hava was a perfectly healthy man with no apparent enemies. His house smelled strange as the police entered to make their initial investigation. Doc Tapia was called in to perform the autopsy, and Rios notices that Doc has a suspicious large burn on the back of his hand. Hava's wife Evelyn invites the police in and hints at the possibility of robbers killing her husband for money that he made from his kachina dolls. As Rios conducts his investigation, he and his staff are subjected to danger from all sides, and it seems that no one in the Pueblo can be trusted.Teresa VanEtten Pijoan's first mystery novel presents the reader with a convoluted plot that is interesting enough to keep the pages turning. Her writing style is simplistic and poignant. In fact, the reader has to stay on top of things to understand the hints and allusions that she weaves into her story, as well as her inherent understanding of the relationships between human beings: 'If you are too eager to please and get along with the person you are living with, you have put yourself too close to that line. You yourself have made yourself vulnerable. Your vulnerability has jeopardized your comfort. Anything the other person does will push you closer to that line. Your faade is in jeopardy, the tenseness is what kills your relationship. Not you or your woman can live up to that faade.'VanEtten Pijoan has a rich Indian history, having grown up in the San Juan Pueblo in New Mexico and having worked in her family's trading post. She is a wonderful spokesperson for a mysterious and fascinating lifestyle that most people do not encounter in their lifetime. The beauty of the Southwest is evident in her, at times, startlingly rich descriptions of the countryside and skies of New Mexico. VanEtten Pijoan seems to be at the beginning of her mystery writing career. But her talent for spinning a yarn is already evident. As VanEtten Pijoan's writing matures and deepens, she will no doubt be regarded as a top notch mystery writer. Her feel for the plot is natural.'' ----Midwest Book ReviewProduct DescriptionWho-or what-killed Ray Hava, the best Indian kachina doll carver in the country? And how was he killed?
