When he was three, his tribe gave Jackson Walker up for adoption to a white couple. He had never returned until a serial killer began to ply his profession among the Native Americans. A Fed, Jackson is sent to solve the murders haunting the people of Navaholand, Arizona.

The prime suspect is Ainii Henio, who had the motive of avenging the death of her father who was killed by the last victim of the serial killer. Jackson, whose psychic abilities has made him one of the top investigators of impossible to solve cases, begins his inquiries with Ainii. However, both are stunned by the raw passion that flows between them. Still, she believes the killer is an evil shapechanger while his Anglo education refuses to accept the ancient superstitions of the Navahos. With the chasm between their belief systems, the probability of a long-term relationship is remote, especially if a mass murderer has any say.

With only her second modern day Native American romance, anyone gazing at the stars will realize that Laura Baker is heading on a path that ends at her being considered a LEGEND. Like her first novel, the story line is a marvelous romantic suspense that brilliantly merges Native American folklore with psychological terror wrapped within a heated romance. Fans of the sub-genres need to read the works of Ms. Baker if they want to peruse some of the best Native American romantic suspense books in the last few years.
