     John Treehorn is an FBI Agent stationed in Washington DC. When new evidence surfaces of a long since forgotten federal crime, he’s the bureau’s first choice to lead the investigation at the Land of his People, the Navajo Indian Reservation. But, for this Special Agent, his nightmare; a murder, fifteen years earlier, brought this now decorated agent to his knees. A killing that was committed by the same Indian myth called, ‘Shadow Dancer’. A prep school leader is missing, myths don’t commit murder, and the truth is buried on the reservation. Agent Treehorn and local FBI Agent Raven Shelley weave the clues together one strand at a time like an old Navajo rug, from the grave of a corpse intentionally hidden to the unspoken crimes targeted against members of a prestigious law firm. A stranger, who wove the motive, once walked amongst their People and left an indelible mark of a shattered dream that bled into its desert sands. The FBI agent and the killer face off as the laws of two lands collide. One stands with a badge, the other with tradition; but they understand the word of their elders, not all killers are born to kill, some are justified to kill.
