The Shaman's Game Mass market paperbound - 1999
by James D. Doss
When two Sun Dance celebrants show up dead with no injuries, Policeman Charlie Moon is reluctant to call it murder. But his shaman aunt believes a great evil is in their midst. When a beautiful childhood friend steps into harm's way, Charlie realizes that time is running out in his hunt for a killer.
Summary
First line
exhausted dancers are gathered around the inner wall of the makeshift coral. Some are huddled in dusty blankets.
From the rear cover
For the tribes of the American Southwest, the annual Sun Dance is among the most solemn and sacred of rituals. But lately Death has been an uninvited guest at the hallowed rite.
Ute tribal policeman Charlie Moon is puzzled. The deceased Sun Dancers sustained no visible, life-ending injuries, so he is reluctant to call it murder -- though there is surely nothing "natural" about the sudden, inexplicable deaths of two strong and healthy men. Unlike her skeptical nephew, however, Charlie's aunt, shaman Daisy Perika, trusts the signs the spirits have sent her of a great evil in their midst. And Moon's matukach friend, Police Chief Scott Parris, believes the stubborn, good-natured Ute lawman should look beyond the rational for answers. Yet Charlie Moon knows too well that hatred, bitterness, and delusion are often behind lethal acts -- and he hopes these very human failings will reveal to him a killer. But now a beautiful childhood friend has stepped into harm's way and time is running out. For Death is on the prowl once more -- and it will surely darken the Sun Dance again.
