NEWLY REVISED AND EDITED.

The Past is another country. They do things differently there."

DEADFALL-Stand alone book number twelve in Chappell's Navajo Nation Mystery series tracks Charlie Yazzie, Thomas Begay, and Harley Ponyboy into unfamiliar territory. When a family member unexpectedly dies, a debilitating sense of loss overcomes our friends on the reservation. The ties that have bound them begin to unravel. What witch's evil is at work?
