"Jake Page is one of the Southwest's most distinguished writers." - The Denver Post

A bizarre murder leaves two teenagers dead in a desert arroyo, their naked bodies side by side, face up under the New Mexican sun. Near them, etched in stone, is a symbol unlike any Native American marking. What does it signify? The puzzle is made to order for Mo Bowdre's quirky and capacious intelligence. But Bowdre, a wildlife sculptor and occasional sleuth, may be in over his head, as he becomes embroiled in a possible case of ritual killing - and a certain malice. . . .

Praise for A Certain Malice

"In a long tradition of oddball amateur detectives, the flamboyant Bowdre is a welcome addition. He's certainly offbeat and larger than life." - L.A. Life

"Page's mysteries are standouts." - The Houston Chronicle

"Move over, Tony Hillerman" - The Seattle Times/Post-Intelligencer
