COYOTE MADE MOTHER EARTH ANGRY. COYOTE MADE THE DEER DANCE. NOW,COYOTE HAS RETURNED, TRAILING VIOLENCE AND DEATH. A small-town sheriff. A big-time land deal. A season of violence in a land of ancient myths… From a New Mexico arroyo, a bullet-ridden body has been mysteriously dragged to a highway. In a small town, a lawman is swamped by complaints of coyote attacks. On Navajo land, a young man faces the truth about who he is, where he comes from, and where he must go. COYOTE RETURNS Investigating the murder of a Navajo leader, Sheriff Cliff Lansing comes up against an official whitewash that has branded the victim a drug dealer. But Lansing's deputy, Gabe Hanna, has already made a connection between the dead man and a multimillion-dollar timber deal on Navajo land. Suddenly, a land torn between ancient spirits and high-stakes power struggles is burning with violence. And as men die, the Trickster, Coyote, runs through the land—demanding justice and revenge.

Moon of the Blue Mustang

By: Micah S. Hackler

“I was eight years old when I saw the Blue Mustang. This was in nineteen thirty-five. It is said he still roams the canyons, guarding the wild herds, protecting all the creatures of the high desert.” Conrado Koteen, Jicarilla Reservation, 1990. Cattle rustlers are plying their trade in San Phillipe—plaguing both local ranchers and the Jicarilla Apache reservation. An ultra-light plane laden with drugs from Mexico plows into a rugged mountain-side—setting in motion a struggle to control the drug trade in Northern New Mexico. Apache sisters, one a Jicarilla police officer, the other in Fish and Wildlife Conservation Enforcement, are confronted by a gunman while off the reservation. A tragedy ensues. The body-count climbs as Sheriff Cliff Lansing contends with drugs, death, cattle theft and a power struggle with the Forestry Service. The resources of his office are spread thin. Almost too late, he realizes more than one murderer may be involved. An Apache legend and family secrets weave their way through the action . . . unseen forces play their part . . . providing Lansing with a mystery he may never solve.

In an air-conditioned university office, a man lies dead, brutally bludgeoned. A hundred miles away, in the high, arid New Mexico mountain country that Sheriff Cliff Lansing is sworn to protect, an animal is devastating ranchers' livestock, and is now turning to human prey.... For Lansing, the two cases are linked. The murder victim was part of an archaeological dig, and a local Indian believes that the animal killings have been unleashed by the excavations.

To stop the bloodshed, Lansing must throw out everything he has ever believed about police work, evidence, and reason. Because between an archaeologist's ambitions and the secrets still hidden in the land, Lansing must follow his own trail of myth, legend, and intuition—to find a very real killer stalking the night....

Badlands

By: Micah S. Hackler

A Sheriff Lansing Mystery Book 9 Sheriff Cliff Lansing’s week begins with a corpse and a desecrated grave. By Saturday he has two more dead men, one killed by a wild animal, the other shot in a remote canyon. A nearly catatonic Navajo teen is brought to a hospital, covered in blood. While she is being treated, someone tries to abduct her, then tries to kill her. A park ranger, along with his truck, goes missing from Chaco Canyon National Historical Park. Five days of searching turns up nothing. After six years, Charlotte “Charlie Brown” Etsitty, Tina Morales’ best friend from childhood, returns to the Navajo Reservation with her two young daughters. Home temporarily to help on the family ranch, she spends long nights defending against evil intruders. After her grandfather’s death, she learns of missing cousins, and by dawn the next morning, three more relatives are dead. Charlie and her grandmother are convinced the Etsitty family is cursed. The Navajo Badlands of western New Mexico provide the backdrop. A picture emerges linking abductions, Navajo Medicine Men and mystical Skinwalkers to tragic events across two states. Barely on speaking terms, Lansing and Tina Morales still make a formidable team. It will remain to be seen if a near-death experience will bring them back together.
