Land of Burning Heat: A Claire Reynier Mystery (Claire Reynier Mysteries) Hardcover - 2003

by Van Gieson, Judith


From the publisher

An ancient religion, a familys hidden past, and a modern-day murder confront archivist Claire Reynier in her search for a priceless document. A young woman named Isabel Santos discovers a faded scrap of paper buried for hundreds of years under her familys adobe house. It could be the controversial last words of a Jewish mystic condemned to death by the Inquisition in Mexico City in 1596.

Before Claire can examine the document, it disappears and tragedy strikes the Santos family, leaving Claire with many unanswered questions. Were these really the mystics last words? How did they get to New Mexico, a place Sephardic Jews hid from the Inquisition and continued to practice their religion in secret for centuries? Is someone willing to kill for the document?

Santos is Spanish for "saints," but Claire soon discovers that this namesake is a mixed legacy. Every time she visits their old home, she puts herself in harms way, yet she continues to search for answers to questions rooted in a dark and dangerous time when heretics were killed for their beliefs.
