THE THIRD WARRIOR
From the sacred Fire-Sky Pueblo, a thrilling mystery unfolds in fire and murder.
"They say the chief decided to approach this god of fire and death... They say four brave warriors stepped forward to run into the fire. No one knew if the the warriors would return alive."
When Police Sergeant Nicky Matthews investigates a series of mysterious deaths, she discovers her own loyalties are tested as the investigation leads her uncomfortably close to home. Now, she must fight to protect a boy with a gift that could cement his place as a leader of the Fire-Sky People—unless a killer gets to him first.
Someone in the Fire-Sky police department is warning Albuquerque's most vicious drug gang of undercover operations on the Pueblo. Begging Nicky to help him find the snitch, her former lover—and New Mexico State Police Chief—barrels back into her life. But when the trail leads to her best friend, Nicky is torn between her loyalties and her job.
The two investigations collide as fires erupt on and off the Pueblo. With the tension, heat, and body count rising, Nicky's actions take a reckless and dangerous turn, driven by elements outside of her control. She soon realizes the God of Fire and Death only appears to those about to die.
And lately, she's seen him a lot.
With a riveting plot and a fierce main character, The Third Warrior is a thrilling read that fans of Craig Johnson's Longmire mystery series will enjoy.
