Day of the Dead

A Navajo Nation Mystery

By: R. Allen Chappell

Narrated by: Kaipo Schwab

Tressa Tarango's husband lost his soul somewhere on the cold high desert of the Navajo Reservation. She doesn't know who killed him and only by venturing among warring drug cartels can she exact the revenge to pacify his restless soul. Only she can ensure Luca's troubled spirit finds peace in the underworld. Though his murderous rampage will keep him from heaven—Tressa hopes she might yet secure him a higher place in hell.

The dead have secrets yet to tell, and in the mysterious world of the desert southwest, no writer tells them better than Chappell. With a rock solid grip on the people, history, and lives of the Dine, Chappell now leads the listener further into a world of mystery and intrigue as two powerful cultures clash. And while the spirit of a serial killer whispers to Tressa Tarango, Paul T'Sosi finds himself suspended between life and death—and with only one old friend to rescue him from the darker forces of both the real and ethereal world.

R. Allen Chappell's gripping Day Of The Dead, the eighth in his Navajo Nation Mystery series, further establishes this author's place in the hierarchy of southwestern writers of note.

This was the best of the series so far

I really liked the be two stories, a thousand years apart, as they unfolded. I pre-ordered the next in series as soon as it was able to be ordered and would preorder the rest of the series now; if they kept the same narrator.
