    Tressa Tarango's husband lost his soul somewhere on the cold high desert of the Navajo Reservation. She doesn't know who killed him and only by venturing among warring drug cartels can she exact the revenge to pacify his restless soul. Only she can ensure Luca's troubled spirit finds peace in the underworld. Though his murderous rampage will keep him from heaven—Tressa hopes she might yet secure him a higher place in hell. 
     
     
     
    The dead have secrets yet to tell, and in the mysterious world of the desert southwest, no writer tells them better than Chappell. With a rock solid grip on the people, history, and lives of the Diné, Chappell now leads the listener further into a world of mystery and intrigue as two powerful cultures clash. And while the spirit of a serial killer whispers to Tressa Tarango, Paul T'Sosi finds himself suspended between life and death—and with only one old friend to rescue him from the darker forces of both the real and ethereal world. 
     
     
     
    R. Allen Chappell's gripping Day Of The Dead, the eighth in his Navajo Nation Mystery series, further establishes this author's place in the hierarchy of southwestern writers of note.

    Spanning four decades in the mid-nineteenth century, the interconnected novellas of Old New York lay out the complex and inscrutable codes, customs, and taboos of New York society in classic Wharton style.
    
    In False Dawn (1840s), Mr. Halston Raycie sends his son Lewis to Europe to buy art, as Mr. Raycie aims to ascend to the upper crust of society by means of a well-respected art collection. But when Lewis returns from Europe with daring pieces by artists unknown to the New York socialites and tastemakers, his appalled father disinherits him, only to discover, too late, the wisdom of his son's intuition.
    The Old Maid (1850s), the best known of the four novellas, follows the life of Tina, a young woman caught between the mother who adopted her--the beautiful, upstanding Delia--and her true mother, her plain, unmarried aunt Charlotte, who gave Tina up to provide her with a socially acceptable life. The three women live quietly together until Tina's wedding day, when Delia's and Charlotte's hidden jealousies rush to the surface.
    
    Then in The Spark (1860s), Mr. Hayley Delane recounts how his life has turned out since he was wounded in the Civil War, where, during his rehabilitation, he chances to meet a certain American poet whose memory stays with him all his life.
    
    And finally in New Year's Day (1870s), Mrs. Lizzie Hazeldean's suspected affair with the unmarried Henry Prest is the center of scandal and gossip in the city, but the true nature of the relationship is not what it may seem.

    About the Book 
    Meet Brick, the grumpiest, scruffiest, and most cantankerous pug you’ll ever love. He’s old, he’s ugly, and he has opinions—mostly about birds, horses, and any dog bed in his line of sight. But behind his crooked snout and unimpressed glare lies a tale of epic proportions. 
    When a casual remark spirals into a full-blown origin story, you’ll find yourself whisked into the whimsical, utterly unpredictable world of Harry Potter and the Tale of the Very Old Dog. Part satire, part adventure, and entirely hilarious, this audiobook celebrates the charms (and frustrations) of everyone’s favorite perpetually grumpy pug. 
    Perfect for fans of offbeat humor, magical escapades, and dogs that refuse to give a hoot about your opinion.
