Kayenta Crossing: A Charles Bloom Murder Mystery (2nd in series)

In the second book in the Charles Bloom Murder Mystery seriesâ€¦

On the Navajo Reservation, in a little aluminum trailer situated on a remote washboard road north of Kayenta, Arizona, Dr. Carson Riddly begins his family practice stint. Heâ€™s been exiled to the most remote medical clinic in the Indian Health Service. His duty station lies in the heart of Navajoland, with 300-foot crimson cliffs for a backdrop and no neighbors in sight. When a murder occurs on Doc Riddlyâ€™s watch, the talk turns to skinwalkers, gamblers, weavers, and drugs. Everyone is a suspect, including the doctor. Riddly reaches out to the only other bilagaana he knows on the rez, art dealer Charles Bloom. Unbeknownst to Bloom, whose Santa Fe gallery represents several Navajo artists, a string of savage murders is closer than he can imagine. By helping the doctor, Bloom exposes himself and his girlfriend, weaver Rachael Yellowhorse, to a cold-blooded killerâ€™s wrath. If Riddly and Bloom canâ€™t put the pieces together quickly enough, the man in the orange hat with blinding white teeth will add two more to his growing list of victims.

â€œAnyone with an ounce of curiosity about Santa Feâ€™s art scene and the rarified world of the vintage Navajo weaving will find much to like in Kayenta Crossing. With a deft hand, Mark Sublette tells an intriguing story of murder, vengeance, complex cultural connections and a young doctor who trades golf and fast cars for life on the reservation.â€ â€” Anne Hillerman, author of Tony Hillermanâ€™s Landscape and the new Chee/Leaphorn novel Spider Womanâ€™s Daughter

â€œArt dealers, collectors, and the American Southwest all adding up to an enjoyable fast-paced crescendo of exotic landscapes and peoples.â€ â€” Bruce Bernstein, PhD former director Santa Fe Indian Market

â€œA Southwest art mystery filled with hot sweat-lodge rocks, curing ceremonies, master Navajo weavers, greedy collectors, and a newly graduated doctor sent to work at a remote clinic in Navajoland.â€ â€” Wolf Schneider, contributing editor, abqARTS

â€œThe Charles Bloom Mystery series delivers once again... a murder on the Navajo Nation, classic blankets, and a famous Daisy Taugelchee tapestry, requiring skills only a seasoned art dealer can provide to help solve. Mark Subletteâ€™s Kayenta Crossing is a page-turner that doesn't disappoint.â€ â€” Mark Winter, author of The Master Weavers and owner of the Historic Toadlena Trading Post
