Nothing in Cree's training as a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist or her experience as a paranormal investigator has prepared her for Tommy Keeday's case. A talented young Navajo, Tommy has recently been exhibiting bizarre symptoms that his family believes are signs of possession by a chindi, a hostile spirit. As Cree struggles to find answers, she becomes increasingly aware that Tommy and the people who surround him have some deep and disturbing secrets.
The follow-up to City of Masks, a Booksense 76 pick, and Daniel Hecht's latest novel, the second in the Cree Black series is a thrillingly plausible supernatural mystery, a passionate love story, and a thoughtful exploration of Navajo culture and identity in modern America.
Harvard-trained clinical psychologist and paranormal investigator Cree Black follows her well-received outing to New Orleans in CITY OF MASKS with a trip to the sun-baked West. Navajo teen Tommy Keeday is possessed by a lost spirit, and it's up to Cree and her team to uncover the narratives of the living and the dead to free it before the young artist dies. This fascinating concept and the performance of Earphones Award-winning narrator Anna Fields pull the reader along with growing interest and dread. This title is easily one of the better mysteries of recent years, and listeners will be completely satisfied. R.O. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
