David Thurlo recommends
Path of the Dead (2018)
(Arthur Nakai Mystery, book 1)
Mark Edward Langley
"Path of the Dead is a lightning-paced manhunt shaped by Native American lore and full of rich detail. This character-driven tale will keep you on the edge of your seat to the last page...I can't wait to read Langley's next story."
Killing Trail (2015)
(Timber Creek K-9 Mystery, book 1)
Margaret Mizushima
"Killing Trail is a well-crafted mystery with heart-pounding action and strong, three dimensional characters. Read the first chapter, then try to walk away. Killing Trail draws you in and doesn't let go."
