P.G. Karamesines combines pot
hunting, witchcraft, and murder in a chilling first novel set on an
archaeological dig in southern Utah. A sinister stranger appears in
the field camp; he models himself on Coyote, the legendary Indian
trickster. When Alex McKelvey, an archaeology student, unwittingly
falls into the role of Rabbit, Coyote’s adversary, she
becomes enmeshed with the stranger in a terrifying dance of
self-discovery.
