Item Description

Are you looking for a new "who dunnit" rooted in Northern New Mexican culture dealing with real issues? Get bidding! And you get two signed copies so you can keep one and gift the other to your favorite library or friend.

Secrets of the Plumed Saint has just been released in hard back!

When the long-cherished statue of the Santa Nino de Atocha disappears, village leaders decide to keep the news from the Church hierarchy for fear of reprisal. They suspect the culprits are among the local hippies, Protestants, drug dealers, Anglos and other outsiders. But when the statue mysteriously reappears and their beloved chapel sacristan is attacked, favorite son Jay Sierra and his pal, Ernie Lucero, team up to investigate. Long forgotten facts about the little statue take everyone by surprise and lead to the cozy conclusion of this delightful crime novel set in an elbow of time during the 1970s in a high mountain valley in northern New Mexico.

The author of this recipient of the International Book Award and 2012 New Mexico-Arizona Book Award finalist will meet with you and your group and share the process and pleasures of bringing this story to life and give you your own signed copy of the book (with matching book mark).
