"Jake Page is one of the Southwest s most distinguished writers."--The Denver Post

A bizarre murder leaves two teenagers dead in a desert arroyo, their naked bodies side by side, face up under the New Mexican sun. Near them, etched in stone, is a symbol unlike any Native American marking. What does it signify? The puzzle is made to order for Mo Bowdre s quirky and capacious intelligence. But Bowdre, a wildlife sculptor and occasional sleuth, may be in over his head, as he becomes embroiled in a possible case of ritual killing--and a certain malice. . . .

Praise for A Certain Malice

"In a long tradition of oddball amateur detectives, the flamboyant Bowdre is a welcome addition. He s certainly offbeat and larger than life."--L.A. Life

"Page s mysteries are standouts."--The Houston Chronicle

Jake Page has been a ranch hand, a hard-rock miner, an editor at Natural History and Smithsonian magazines, and a book publisher. His first four Mo Bowdre mysteries are The Stolen Gods, The Deadly Canyon, The Knotted Strings, and The Lethal Partner. He has also written hundreds of magazine articles and columns and many other books, including Hopi and Navajo (in collaboration with his wife, Susanne, a photographer). Mr. Page lives in Corrales, New Mexico.
