  The United States is in turmoil nine months after an assassination attempt targeting the new president. Texas, home to the unsuccessful Nationalist Party candidate, has seceded from the Union, and other states are poised to follow. In Santa Fe, a priest who is an anti-nuclear activist is murdered. In Taos County, Sheriff Ulysses Walker investigates the murder of a young man associated with Nuclear Peace and Justice. Meanwhile, at Picuris Pueblo, Governor Ray Pando has a new neighbor-a religious cult called "The Elect," a group closely aligned with the insurgent Nationalist Party. When high-level nuclear waste goes missing from Los Alamos National Lab, Ulysses, Ray, and FBI agent LizBeth Tallichet start to connect the dots. Then, Ulysses learns that an even more dangerous threat, weapons-grade plutonium stolen from a facility in Wyoming, has reached Taos County. Nothing less than a civil war is at stake. Ulysses must race against time to neutralize the threat. The entire country is at risk, and Ulysses finds his life on the line.

  Lt. Joe Leaphorn, who can't seem to stay retired, investigates a case that takes him back to his earliest days with the Navajo Tribal Police. When Erwin Totter's trading post burned to the ground back in 1965, the news that Ray Shewnack, a fugitive on the FBI's Most Wanted List, had perished in the blaze drew all available officers to the scene. Joe Leaphorn (Skeleton Man, 2004, etc.) was pulled away from Grandma Peshlakai's, where he'd gone in hopes of recovering the ten gallons of pinyon sap stolen from her. It was a waste of time, Grandma Peshlakai insisted, since the man was certainly dead. Now Leaphorn's old friend Mel Bork, a private eye in Flagstaff, has disappeared after sending Leaphorn a photograph of a tribal rug that's supposed to have been destroyed in the Totter fire. If the rug survived-and when Leaphorn treks out to Flagstaff to examine it as it hangs on the wall of big-game hunter Jason Delos's lodge-maybe Shewnack, a holdup artist who managed to kill two victims and finger his three accomplices to the police, isn't dead after all.

  Small towns + gossip = friction 
   
   
   
  No one in the town of Whitby, North Carolina was excited when Jonas Merchant returned to town. Jonas was an effective muckraker; an expert at uncovering secrets, rumors, and undercurrents. Even worse, he'd fallen on hard times and was desperate for easy cash. It was a decidedly dangerous combination. 
   
   
   
  It was perhaps not the biggest surprise when Jonas was discovered dead one day. More shocking, at least to local librarian Ann Beckett, was the fact that her straight-arrow director Wilson was one of the suspects in Jonas's death. 
   
   
   
  Will Ann be able to track down the killer and clear Wilson's name before he strikes again?
