This book is a great juxtaposition of modern Native American views and historical Native American perspective. Chapters fluxuate between Modern Archeologist, Modern Indigenous Opinion and Historical Society through the means of solving an Ancient murder mystery.

The series ties into the American Southwest and brings to life the Anasazi Indigenous culture and lifestyes. The Gears have shown expert research and infused a brilliant modern day perspective into an ancient enigmatic tribe.

I like the way the authors make the ancient ones more real and give the reader a glimpse of what their lives might have been like. The modern-day story is entertaining as well

Creepy, compelling, but overly complicated, and not believable as a series.
