Tragedy, deception, and peril await painter and amateur sleuth Georgia O’Keeffe in this enthralling historical mystery set in 1930s New Mexico, from multi-award-winning author Kathryn Lasky.
“Step aside Miss Marple, Eugenia Potter, and Kinsey Millhone–Georgia O’Keeffe is the new sleuth in town!” Award-winning author Katherine Hall Page Under the spellbinding stars of the New Mexico desert, a bloodied axe carves through the night–its story buried in silence and sand . . . New Mexico, 1937. Painter Georgia O’Keeffe is excited for her trip to the intriguing wilderness of the Bisti Badlands–a common site for archaeological excavations, it’s a historical place with enchanting desertscapes but also perilous natural structures. Her trip is overshadowed by the sad news of her friend and native Juan Nez going missing. No one knows where he is, and it’s unlikely he’s gotten lost. He knows these lands like the back of his hand. Has something happened to him and, if so, was it an accident, or has a horrible crime taken place? Trying to make sense of the situation, Georgia seeks solace in her art, but soon comes face-to-face with a dangerous reality and an even deadlier disaster . . . For fans of Stephanie Barron, Nicola Upson, and Bella Ellis. “A compelling mystery” (Booklist on A Slant of Light) featuring real-life painter Georgia O’Keeffe, one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century.Author: Kathryn Lasky
