A Native American investigator returns to the reservation to find the truth behind her friends death -- and discovers family secrets and dysfunction -- in the new mystery novel Whispers in the Wind. When San Francisco fraud investigator Sunny Davis hears that her best friend Gina has committed suicide, its emotionally devastating for Sunny and the beginning of her determined pursuit to find the truth. Sunny cant believe that Gina would kill herself when she was raising small children -- let alone that she would shoot herself while her children played outside. Sunny returns to her childhood home, an Indian reservation in Nevada, to attend Ginas funeral and get some answers. But Sunny finds the situation back home even more puzzling. Ginas husband, Jesse, is disengaged and evasive. Ginas sister, Eva, seems absolutely unmoved that her sister is dead. Both only give noncommittal answers to Sunnys urgent questions. When Sunny receives a psychic vision of Ginas brutal death and senses that Ginas spirit is contacting her, she realises she must learn the truth. Sunnys investigation leads her deep into a complex mystery, her tribal cultures spiritual beliefs, and the secrets that tore apart Ginas family and threaten her own. Combining fully realised Native characters, family drama, Native spirituality, the paranormal, and the everyday reality of modern Native American life, Whispers in the Wind is a fascinating detective novel that appeals to the logical and intuitive mind. This book introduces a new kind of detective hero in Sunny Davis, a smart and tough professional investigator who solves cases with equal parts deductive logic, psychic intuition, and spiritual insight, in a story that portrays grief, courage, and compelling insights into Native American families.
