Lonesome animals : a novel
\"In Lonesome Animals, Arthur Strawl, a tormented former lawman, is called out of retirement to hunt a serial killer with a sense of the macabre who has been leaving elaborately carved bodies of Native Americans across three counties. As the pursuit ensues, Strawl's own dark and violent history weaves itself into the hunt, shedding light on the remains of his broken family: one wife taken by the river, one by his own hand; an adopted Native American son who fancies himself a Catholic prophet; and a daughter, whose temerity and stoicism contrast against the romantic notions of how the west was won\"--Jacket.

The Flawed Design: American Imperialism in N. Scott Momaday's
In this essay, Christopher Douglas explores the many parallels between N. Scott Momaday's 1968 novel, House Made of Dawn, and Cormac McCarthy's 1985 novel, Blood Meridian. Douglas argues that the novels' \"improbable echoes...emerge from their similar critiques of European-American imperialism in the Southwest.\" (Critique) Ways in which both novels \"seek to uncover the particularly Christian basis for much of the colonization of the Southwest\" are noted.

Hearts of the missing
\"When a young woman linked to a list of missing Fire-Sky tribal members commits suicide, Pueblo Police Sergeant Nicky Matthews is assigned to the case. As the investigation unfolds, she uncovers a threat that strikes at the very heart of what it means to be a Fire-Sky Native: victims chosen and murdered because of their genetic makeup. But these deaths are not just about a life taken. In a vengeful twist, the killer ensures the spirits of those targeted will wander forever, lost to their family, their People, and their ancestors. When those closest to Nicky are put in jeopardy, she must be willing to sacrifice everything--her career, her life, even her soul--to save the people she is sworn to protect\"--Publisher's description.
