reviewed on + 21 more book reviews


When Eugenia Potter stumbles upon some ancient pottery shards on her ranch, she feels a profound connection with the past. And a deep desire to learn more about the relics. Now, with sweet dream cookies in her purse to nourish the body, she's heeding the call of her sould -- by visiting an archaelogical camp amid the magnificent cliff dwellings of Colorado's Mesa Verde. But strange things are happening at Mesa Verde, from the director's increasing mental confusion to a visitor's grisly death. Even a Talking Circle -- a traditional ritual facilitated by the passing around of an ear of blue corn -- doesn't reveal the source of the trouble. And when a busload of youngsters out on a dig disappears without a trace, Mrs. Potter begins digging herself -- to unearth a cruel scheme, a long-buried secret, and the deadly fruits of a killer's dark hungers.
