Native Blood

The dead never leave us but they whisper ghost stories that bring the past back to life.Sheriff Zeb Hanks has returned home to Graham County only to be confronted with the murder of an Apache girl whose death is eerily reminiscent of an unsolved murder committed seven years earlier. Both deaths involve granddaughters of the men who mentored Zeb in his youth. The fact that the recent murder took place on San Carlos Apache lands further complicates matters. The new tribal chairman has only reluctantly called on the Graham County Sheriff's office for help and he's made it clear that Zeb is not really welcome.With a vested interest in a case that involves a complexly woven web of Native American and Anglo cultures, Zeb discovers what it takes to be a sheriff, a friend and a man who understands the ways of the old west versus the new west.NATIVE BLOOD is the first book of the action-packed ZEB HANKS MYSTERY Series, that follows Sheriff Zeb Hanks, former Sheriff Jake Dablo, Medicine Man Jimmy Song Bird and others as Natives and Anglos work together to solve crimes in southeastern Arizona.
