Cry Dance

An Emmett Parker and Anna Turnipseed Mystery

By: Kirk Mitchell

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki

If there's one thing that Bureau of Indian Affairs Investigator Emmett Quanah Parker knows, it's that the dead don't always stay dead.

When the corpse of a woman, brutally murdered and bizarrely mutilated, is discovered on Havasupai Nation land, Parker is paired with FBI Special Agent Anna Turnipseed in a hastily assembled task force of two. The two share a mixed Native American ancestry - and little else. As they are pulled deeper into a complex case, Parker suspects they are being led, like Custer to a Little Bighorn, into a killer's trap.

Critic reviews

"Nail-bitingly intense....A breathless page-turner...with memorable Native American myths and an outdoorsman's respect for the Southwest's brutal beauty." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"Plenty of strenuous treks through rugged terrain....What a great guy to keep around." ( New York Times Book Review)

Surprisingly captivating the longer you listen.

I wasn’t sure I would be able to get engaged enough to enjoy this book for first few minutes, but I’m so glad I kept listening!

I came to this one after finding it on sale and wanting a start of a series. The characters are engaging and the descriptions are clear and imaginative. I will definitely read more in series.
I liked the story but wasn't my favorite narrator.

Educational and interesting

Gripping at times, hard to follow at times with all the different names. Narrator a little monotonal but easy to understand.

Author is great! Narration is excellent.

K. Mitchell has the same depth and breadth about his writing as Michael
Connolly, who I hold as a standard for realistic police procedurals. S. Rudnicki
is paired perfectly with this work. Thanks. I'm glad I found this combination!

Really enjoyed cry dance

I really enjoyed this novel. The only thing was I wish I had a map to look at and try to familiarize myself with the different Native American tribes and where they were.
