Description
Beautifully written with a riveting plot and a richly drawn, diverse cast of characters, Hearts of the Missing is the mesmerizing debut from 2017 Tony Hillerman Prize recipient Carol Potenza.
When a young woman linked to a list of missing Fire-Sky tribal members commits suicide, Pueblo Police Sergeant Nicky Matthews is assigned to the case. As the investigation unfolds, she uncovers a threat that strikes at the very heart of what it means to be a Fire-Sky Native: victims chosen and murdered because of their genetic makeup. But these deaths are not just about a life taken. In a vengeful twist, the killer ensures the spirits of those targeted will wander forever, lost to their family, their People, and their ancestors. When those closest to Nicky are put in jeopardy, she must be willing to sacrifice everything—her career, her life, even her soul—to save the people she is sworn to protect.

This Native American murder mystery had me hooked, not just because of the mystery, but because of the story of the Native American tribes and their customs. Nicky Mathews is a Pueblo Police detective tasked with piecing together the deaths of Fire-Sky tribe members. Someone appears to be doing a type of genetic “cleansing” that will not even allow the souls of the murdered find peace. Fans of Nevada Barr and Tony Hillerman will love this story

This is the first read by this author and I am a definite fan! The characters are complex and intriguing. The mystery is full of surprises. The entire book, plot, characters, setting, draw the reader in and make you invested. I hope we see more of these characters in future books. A must read!
