The husband-and-wife writing team of Aimée and David Thurlo are best known for their dynamic procedural series featuring Navajo Police Special Investigator Ella Clah. In Plant Them Deep Ella's mother, Rose Destea, gets a chance to blossom in this charming stand-alone mystery -- a cozy break from the intensely investigative Ellah Clah series. A Navajo traditionalist, Rose has repeatedly taken stands defending tribal rights and beliefs and fought to restore harmony to her tribe and its land. As a member of the Plant Watchers Society, it is Rose's responsibility to defend sacred Mother Earth and to protect the Plant People -- plants that are becoming increasingly scarce -- that were the gifts of the gods to her people. Rose is concerned about soil damage caused by mining on the reservation and alarmed by recent reports about indiscriminate harvesting of some of the most valuable native plants. So she's pleased when the Tribal Council asks her to conduct an official survey of ceremonial and medicinal plants on the reservation. But she soon discovers that getting to the truth involves asking a lot of questions people don't want to answer -- and facing some unexpected dangers. Sue Stone
