Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jim Ryan, a Harley-riding defense lawyer, has a new secretary, Jennie Bond, and a new Internet videophone. A glitch occurs that thrust both of them onto the grid of mysteries and murders that span a thousand years in Arizona. The year is 2002, but a dramatic shift opens a window to the past into the land of the River People, known today as the Hohokam of Central Arizona. Then, with historical insight, the reader returns to the present, where the building of the new Kamaho Casino on ancestral tribal land forges an amalgam of present and past. Soon after the casino's gambling operation begins, the son of the tribal leader is brutally murdered. The murdered man's sister is arrested for the crime, and when Jim Ryan is hired to defend her, he finds himself in the center of several mysteries, each leading in a different direction. One leads to an ancient treasure; another leads to the Reggio Family and their political toadies. And once the clues begin to pile up, he finds that the woman with whom he's been in a romatic relationship is in the middle of it all.
